EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a facsimile of August: Hawking, taken from the Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry. Crafted on vellum by the talented Limbourg Brothers during the Northern Renaissance period, this exquisite piece can be found at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The image transports us to a serene riverside scene where nature and human activity seamlessly intertwine. A group of figures indulges in an ancient pastime known as hawking, symbolizing both leisure and skillful pursuit. As they traverse through lush fields and bask under the warm sun, their vibrant energy is palpable. Intriguingly, amidst this idyllic setting lies a hidden narrative element - skinny dipping! The daring swimmers immerse themselves joyfully into the refreshing river waters while maintaining an air of innocence and freedom. This playful act adds an unexpected twist to an otherwise traditional depiction of harvest time. The presence of zodiac symbols suggests a deeper connection between celestial movements and earthly affairs. The sun shines brightly above Virgo and Leo signs, evoking Apollo's influence over agriculture and creativity. Through these subtle details, we are reminded that art has always been intertwined with astrology and mythology. Bridgeman Images beautifully captures this momentous artwork without commercial intentions but rather aims to preserve its historical significance for all art enthusiasts to appreciate.
