EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the illuminated manuscript, "Hours of Marguerite d Orleans" created by the French School in the 15th century. Titled "Lat 1156 B f. 163 November; deer hunting" this exquisite artwork transports us to a world filled with both grace and excitement. In this particular illustration, we witness a group of hunters engaged in an exhilarating chase through a lush forest during the month of November. The skilled craftsmen have intricately depicted every detail, capturing not only the physical beauty of nature but also the essence of medieval hunting culture. The centerpiece of this composition is undoubtedly the majestic stag being pursued by mounted hunters armed with crossbows. Their determined expressions and poised postures convey their unwavering focus on capturing their prey. Meanwhile, graceful swans glide across a serene pond nearby, adding an element of tranquility amidst all the action. Notably, within the title letter illumination lies an artistic representation of the Holy Trinity—a subtle reminder that even in moments dedicated to earthly pursuits like hunting, spirituality remains intertwined with everyday life. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history's rich tapestry while celebrating both human ingenuity and our profound connection to wildlife. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with nature and its ability to inspire awe-inspiring works of art throughout centuries past.
