EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms Hunter 252 f. 193r Meal, from Les Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles, 1462" takes us back to the enchanting world of the 15th century French court. The image is a vellum manuscript illuminated by skilled hands, showcasing a scene from the renowned collection of burlesque and licentious tales known as Les Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles. In this particular illustration, we witness a moment filled with tension and humor. A husband sits at an elaborately adorned table while his wife stands beside him, her hand raised in mid-air as if about to strike him with her hat. The husband's face displays both surprise and resignation as he braces himself for the impending blow. The intricate details of this miniature painting transport us into a world where punishment was meted out through unconventional means. It is fascinating to observe how even during mealtime, marital disputes could arise leading to such comical consequences. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are reminded that manuscripts like these were not only sources of entertainment but also reflections of societal norms and values. They provide valuable insights into the lives and customs of those who lived centuries ago. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of art in preserving history and offering glimpses into worlds long gone by.
