1517 Farming Calendar, Master of the Grüninger Workshop, Master Woodcut

About the Item

Original from 1515 A pivotal and iconic calendar woodcut from 1517 and first used in the 1502 of Sebastian Brandt’s edition of the works of Vergil. The four books of The Georgics are about the cultivation of land, orchards, animal husbandry and beekeeping. The poet described all the occupations of the farmer in accordance with the calendar and the order imposed by Nature reflected in the woodcut on offer. It was from the workshops associated with the Gruninger printing works that the artwork for the 1502 Edition was prepared and it was that reference that leaves us with the title the "Late Master of the Gruninger Workshops" for the artist who is responsible. The honorific, "Master" indicating the importance of the illustrations accompanying this suite.
