EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene straight out of the medieval era, depicting villains receiving their lord's orders before embarking on a day of work. Based on a 15th-century manuscript miniature by Paul Lacroix, this image offers us a glimpse into the intricate dynamics of the feudal system. The composition showcases a group of laborers dressed in simple tunics, standing attentively as they listen to their lord's instructions. Their expressions reveal both obedience and curiosity, hinting at the complex relationship between those who held power and those bound to serve them. The setting exudes an air of authenticity with its rustic interior and tools scattered around - scythes serving as reminders of the arduous tasks that await these villeins. The engraving technique used further enhances the medieval ambiance, adding depth and texture to every detail. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an essential aspect of medieval life – where serfs were obligated to follow their lords' commands without question or hesitation. It serves as a powerful reminder of how social structures shaped daily existence during that period. Ken Welsh's masterful reproduction ensures that this historical moment is preserved for generations to come. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but marvel at the artist's ability to capture not only physical details but also emotions and narratives within one frame.
