EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see the King of Arms of the Order of the Golden Fleece deeply engrossed in writing about Jacques de Lalaing. Created by Simon Bening in the 16th century, this masterpiece showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The scene is set in a grand study adorned with mullioned windows that allow soft rays of light to illuminate the room. The king sits at a magnificent desk, surrounded by books and manuscripts, showcasing his scholarly pursuits. His regal presence is enhanced by his elaborate tabard and crown, symbolizing his authority within the order. A loyal dog rests faithfully at his side as he meticulously writes on parchment using ink and gold leaf accents. This manuscript, known as Livre des faits (Book of Deeds), immortalizes Jacques de Lalaing's remarkable life as a celebrated knight and renowned tournament fighter during medieval times. Outside the window lies a picturesque courtyard where horses graze peacefully. These majestic creatures were not only essential companions for knights but also symbols of power and nobility. Bening's skillful use of tempera brings vibrant colors to life while capturing every intricate detail with precision. This artwork serves as an exquisite testament to chivalry, illuminating both historical events and timeless values that continue to inspire us today.
