EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a moment of tranquility and devotion as Carthusian monks engage in the ancient practice of netting and hooking fish in monastery fishponds at Chartreuse, founded by St. Bruno of Cologne in the 11th century. The scene, depicted in a 15th-century manuscript known as "Les Belles Heures" du duc Jean de Berry, showcases the timeless connection between man and nature.
The monks are seen working together to catch fish, their movements deliberate and focused. The shimmering shoal of fish in the water adds a sense of life and movement to the serene setting. Each monk is engaged in his task with dedication, embodying the values of simplicity, humility, and contemplation that define their religious order.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to a period when faith was intertwined with daily life and labor. The intricate details captured by the artist highlight not only the physical act of fishing but also the spiritual significance behind it.
This print serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that have shaped generations of Carthusian monks at Chartreuse. It is a testament to their unwavering commitment to God's work on Earth and their deep reverence for all living creatures.
