EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene of chaos and lawlessness in the year 1455. Depicting a miniature from the manuscript "Commentary on Ethics" by Aristotle, this unknown artist masterfully portrays a world plagued by attacks, trafficking, and looting. The intricate details of this artwork provide us with a glimpse into the tumultuous times of the 15th century. Intriguingly translated by Nicolas Oresme, this manuscript sheds light on the criminality that prevailed during this era. The image showcases an array of weapons, highlighting the prevalence of violence and theft in society. Burglaries were rampant as individuals sought to rob and steal from one another. The vivid colors used in this illumination bring life to the scene, emphasizing both its historical significance and artistic brilliance. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of medieval Europe, we are transported back to an age where street scenes were filled with danger and uncertainty. The landscape depicted here serves as a reminder that even outside these walls, attacks could occur at any moment. This image is not just about crime; it also reflects upon human nature itself - our propensity for violence and greed. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art captured beautifully by © Photo Josse, we are reminded once again that history has much to teach us about ourselves and our world today.
