EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing moment frozen in time. Titled "Ms Hunter 252 f. 27v Kissing, from Les Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles, 1462" this vellum artwork is a true gem of the 15th century French School. Housed at Glasgow University Library in Scotland, it holds immense historical significance as the sole surviving manuscript copy of its kind. The image captures an intimate scene filled with love and intrigue. Two figures are locked in a passionate embrace, their lips meeting tenderly amidst an illuminated backdrop. This delicate minuature beautifully portrays the essence of medieval romance and courtly flirtation. Les Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles was known for its collection of burlesque and licentious tales told at the court of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy. Although traditionally attributed to Antoine de la Sale, recent research has discredited this claim while suggesting Philippe Pot as a possible author. As we admire this stunning piece, we are transported back to an era where love stories were whispered behind closed doors and illicit affairs were concealed within these pages. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this enchanting moment between two lovers. Let us cherish this remarkable work that not only reflects artistic brilliance but also offers us a glimpse into the complex world of medieval romance and human desire.
