EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of courage and cowardice, as depicted in a 15th-century manuscript titled "Ethics, Politics and Economics" by Aristotle. The artwork, created on vellum by an anonymous French School artist, showcases a mesmerizing scene that transports us back to medieval times. In this intricate miniature painting, we find ourselves amidst a bustling town situated along the coastline. A ship sails towards the horizon while another vessel approaches from afar. The composition is filled with action and tension as two groups engage in conflict - one defending their territory against an attacking rogue party. The imagery beautifully illustrates the dichotomy between virtue and sin. On one hand, we witness brave defenders standing tall against the villainous assault; their unwavering courage shines through even in such dire circumstances. On the other hand, we see criminals carrying out their nefarious deeds without remorse or hesitation. The illumination techniques employed by the artist add depth and vibrancy to every detail of this medieval masterpiece. Each stroke brings life to characters' expressions and emotions while capturing the essence of both valor and fear. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection at Bibliotheque Municipale in Rouen, France, it serves as a timeless reminder of humanity's eternal struggle between good and evil – a testament to Aristotle's enduring wisdom that continues to resonate across centuries.
