title: THE BLOW OF THE BUTCHER

subject date: 2004-07-22

caption: PIG The butcher raises the axe over a pig that, unaware, stands still waiting for the blow; the tool seems to be held in such a way as to swing the blunt end of the blow, perhaps only to stun, or perhaps a perspective interpretation by the miniaturist. Scene of the slaughter of a pig depicted in the initial letter ''C'', from a page of a treatise on medicine and hygiene compiled by Aldobrandino da Siena (? – ca. 1287), Italy 13th century.
