EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 14th-century "Book of Hunting" by Gaston Phoebus, Count of Foix and Lord of Bearn. The illuminated manuscript depicts a thrilling hunt with hounds, showcasing the medieval tradition of hunting as both a sport and an art form. In this particular scene, we see hunters on horseback accompanied by their loyal pack of hounds. The vivid colors and intricate details bring to life the excitement and energy of the chase. The hunters are armed with lances, ready to confront any obstacles that may arise during their pursuit. Amidst the action, one hunter stands out holding a musical instrument - perhaps signaling his role in coordinating the hunt or adding an element of melody to enhance the experience. This unique inclusion adds depth to our understanding of hunting practices during this time period. The illumination technique used in this manuscript is truly remarkable, highlighting every aspect with precision and skill. It serves as a testament to the artistic talent prevalent during the Middle Ages. Leonard de Selva's expert photography allows us to appreciate this historical masterpiece up close while preserving its authenticity for generations to come. This print transports us back in time, immersing us in an era where hunting was not only about survival but also about camaraderie, skill, and adventure.
