EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating illustration from the Tacuinum Santiatis Codex Vindobonensis, created by the Italian School in the 14th century. Titled "Fol. 99v Throwing Up" this image showcases a scene that is both intriguing and slightly unsettling. The artwork depicts a person in distress, clearly suffering from illness as they vomit on a beautifully manicured lawn. The lush green grass contrasts sharply with the subject's discomfort, creating an interesting juxtaposition between nature's beauty and human vulnerability. In this medieval manuscript illustration, we witness not only the act of being sick but also an element of care and assistance. Surrounding the individual are figures who seem to be offering help or providing some form of emetic remedy. This suggests that even in ancient times, people understood the importance of aiding those who were unwell. The delicate vellum medium adds to the overall charm and historical significance of this piece. Preserved within Austria's National Library, it serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with health and well-being throughout history. As viewers engage with this image, they are invited to reflect on themes such as bodily affliction, compassion for others' suffering, and perhaps even find solace in knowing that humans have always sought remedies for ailments since time immemorial.
