This print titled "Ms 22531 Couple in bed, from Le Livre des Proprietes des choses" transports us back to the 15th century, offering a glimpse into the intimate lives of a married couple. The image is taken from an illuminated manuscript by Barthelemy l Anglais and showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of French School artists. In this scene, we find ourselves inside a beautifully adorned bedroom where a husband and wife are engaged in an act of lovemaking. The intricate details captured on vellum bring forth the delicate emotions and sensuality shared between these two individuals. As voyeurs to their private moment, we witness not only their physical connection but also observe the complexities of human relationships. The presence of various elements such as a chair and curtains adds depth to the composition, suggesting that this encounter takes place within the confines of their personal space. It is fascinating how even centuries ago, couples sought privacy for moments filled with love and passion.
