EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Gothic miniature painting depicts King Charles IV of Luxembourg (1316-1378), a significant figure in European history who ruled as King of Bohemia from 1346 to 1378, Holy Roman Emperor from 1355 to 1378, and Elector of Brandenburg. The image captures a pivotal moment as the king receives a copy of the agricultural treatise "Opus Ruralium Commodorum" from its author. The treatise, originally written around 1305, was a popular text in the Middle Ages that provided practical advice on farming techniques, animal husbandry, and rural life. Charles IV was an enlightened ruler who supported the arts, sciences, and education. He is depicted here in regal attire, seated on a throne, and surrounded by his courtiers. The king's expression conveys his interest and engagement as he listens intently to the author's explanation of the treatise's contents. The painting's vibrant colors and intricate details showcase the artistic achievements of the 16th-century Czech Republic, specifically from the National Library of the Czech Republic in Prague. This vertical, upright image offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the close relationship between rulers and scholars during the Middle Ages and the importance of agricultural knowledge in shaping society.
