This print showcases a series of miniatures from the renowned Livro de Horas de Dom Manuel, created between 1517 and 1538. The artwork, attributed to Antonio de Hollanda, offers a delightful glimpse into the month of April during the reign of King Manuel I in Portugal. The scene depicted is filled with men and women reveling in open-air pursuits amidst nature's awakening. With vibrant tempera on vellum, this masterpiece captures the essence of springtime bliss. Women are seen picking flowers while men engage in hawking and other country activities. The idyllic river setting adds to the charm as pleasure boats glide along its waters. Fishing enthusiasts can be spotted casting their lines, adding an element of tranquility to this lively composition. Noteworthy details include a playful dog frolicking nearby and birds soaring above, enhancing the sense of harmony between humans and nature. The presence of walking sticks or canes suggests that these individuals may have been partaking in leisurely strolls through picturesque landscapes.
