EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "February - spinning, late 15th century" we are transported back in time to witness the daily activities of a man and a woman. Created by Robinet Testard in 1939, this detailed image is taken from the "Heures de Charles d'Angouleme" a book of hours commissioned by Charles of Orleans. The scene depicts a cozy interior with a crackling fire at its center. As the man takes off his boots to warm his feet, he seeks comfort and respite from the cold winter outside. Meanwhile, the woman diligently spins thread using a wheel, showcasing her skillful craftsmanship. This exquisite miniature painting showcases not only the artistic talent of Robinet Testard but also provides us with insights into life during the late 15th century. The illuminated manuscript captures both gender roles and occupations prevalent during that era. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this artwork transports us to another time and place. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage preserved within books like these. Now housed in Bibliotheque nationale de France in Paris, this piece allows us to appreciate both historical significance and artistic mastery. Published in Verve magazine's No. 8 Vol. II edition in 1939, this photograph print reminds us of our connection to history through art while offering glimpses into everyday life centuries ago.
