EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a stone relief titled "Gathering Grapes: September" from a statuary calendar of the Labours of the Months, dating back to around 1200. Created by Benedetto Antelami, an Italian sculptor known for his remarkable craftsmanship, this piece can be found in the Baptistery of Parma Cathedral in Italy. Intricately carved and beautifully preserved, this medieval artwork depicts a scene that symbolizes the harvest season. A figure is shown diligently collecting grapes from lush vines while wearing a unique bee protection cap, emphasizing the importance of viticulture and its connection to honey production. The presence of scales suggests that weighing and measuring played a significant role during this time. The composition also incorporates elements related to astrology and zodiac signs with Libra prominently featured. This celestial reference adds another layer of meaning as it represents balance and justice – qualities associated with both harvesting crops and human interactions. David Lees' expert photography brings out every intricate detail of this historical masterpiece. His skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only Antelami's artistry but also the rich cultural heritage represented within Parma Cathedral's walls. As we admire this image, let us reflect on how our ancestors celebrated nature's bounties through their artistic expressions. May it inspire us to cherish our own connections with agriculture, seasons, and traditions that have shaped our world throughout history.
