EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Emelye in her garden" transports us back to the 15th century, where we witness a scene from the Hours of the Duke of Burgundy. The image showcases two imprisoned knights, Palamon and Arcite, gazing out at Emelye, their captor's sister-in-law. The setting is an enchanting garden with lush greenery and a meticulously crafted brick-faced bower. Emelye sits on a turf seat adorned with garlands of roses, exuding elegance and grace. As our eyes explore this illuminated manuscript, we can almost feel the courtly love that permeates the air. Both knights have fallen deeply in love with Emelye, their hearts captured by her beauty and charm. Their longing gazes reflect their desire for her affection as they remain trapped within their confinement. This artwork beautifully captures Chaucer's renowned tale of love and chivalry - "The Knight's Tale". It speaks to themes of courteous love and explores the complexities of loving someone who is unattainable. As we delve into this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the power that art holds in transporting us through time. This piece serves as a testament to enduring human emotions such as longing and admiration while offering us a glimpse into medieval courtly traditions.
