EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from "The Hunting Book of Gaston Phoebus, Count of Foix" a 14th-century manuscript that offers us a glimpse into the medieval world of hunting. The image depicts a thrilling bear hunt, with the French School's exquisite illumination bringing every detail to life. In this ancient artwork, we witness an intense moment as the hunter takes aim at a formidable brown bear using his trusty crossbow. The miniature painting showcases the skill and bravery required for such an endeavor during the Middle Ages. Gaston Phoebus, Count of Foix and Lord of Bearn, was renowned for his passion for hunting and authored this book as both a practical guide and testament to his love for the sport. The rich colors and intricate details in this photograph highlight not only the artistic talent behind its creation but also provide insight into medieval society's relationship with nature. Bears were highly respected creatures in folklore and often symbolized strength and power. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France, it is evident that Leonard de Selva has expertly captured its essence through his lens. This print allows us to appreciate both historical significance and artistic beauty while immersing ourselves in an era long past.
