EDITORS COMMENTS
Tractatus de Pestilencia," or "Treatise on the Pestilence," is a fascinating and intriguing work of Gothic art created by the anonymous artist known as M, or Master M, around the mid-15th century. This miniature painting is a testament to the artistic and scientific knowledge of the time, as well as the profound fear and fascination with the bubonic plague that was sweeping through Europe during the Late Middle Ages. The image depicts a scene of medical treatment, with a figure in a robe applying various vegetable dressings to a patient lying in bed. The patient appears to be in a state of distress, with a pallor complexion and a high fever. The doctor, with a serious expression, carefully applies the remedies, which include garlic, onions, and other herbs, to the affected areas of the patient's body. The application of these vegetable dressings was believed to be an effective treatment for the plague, as documented in various medical texts of the time. The use of garlic and onions, in particular, was thought to ward off the disease due to their strong odor, which was believed to repel the plague-carrying fleas. This miniature painting is a valuable historical artifact that provides insight into the medical practices and beliefs of the Late Middle Ages. It is also a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Master M, who expertly captured the emotion and tension of the scene, as well as the intricate details of the vegetable dressings and the textures of the fabrics and skin. The Tractatus de Pestilencia is an important work of Gothic art that continues to captivate scholars and art lovers alike. Its intricate details, historical significance, and artistic mastery make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of medicine, art, or the Gothic period.
