EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the 15th-century manuscript, Les Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles. Titled "Ms Hunter 252 f. 133v Meal" this vellum artwork offers a glimpse into the burlesque and licentious tales that were told at the court of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy. The image captures an intimate moment during a meal, where social dynamics and medieval customs come to life. A female figure is seated at a beautifully illuminated table, engrossed in her frugal yet satisfying repast. The intricate details of her surroundings transport us back in time as we witness this enchanting spectacle. Intriguingly, this particular volume is the sole surviving manuscript copy of its text, adding to its historical significance. While traditionally attributed to Antoine de la Sale, recent research has discredited his authorship and suggested Philippe Pot as another possible writer. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we are granted access to an extraordinary world filled with storytelling and indulgence. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to appreciate the artistry behind these ancient manuscripts.
