EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 14th-century image, Jean Froissart, the renowned French historian and chronicler, is depicted in deep concentration as he reads aloud from his Chronicles to Gaston de Foix, Count of Foix, at his court in Orthez, south-west France, following an evening supper. The scene exudes an atmosphere of medieval splendor and intellectual pursuits. Froissart, dressed in the fashion of the late 14th century, sits comfortably at a well-lit table, his parchment in hand and a quill pen nearby. His audience, led by Gaston de Foix, listens intently, their faces illuminated by the flickering candlelight. The count, a distinguished figure in his own right, sits attentively, leaning forward, his hands steepled in front of him, demonstrating his keen interest in the words of the historian. The room is richly decorated with tapestries, ornate furnishings, and intricate architectural details, all reflecting the wealth and power of the Count of Foix's court. The presence of Froissart, a celebrated chronicler and contemporary of many significant historical figures, underscores the importance of learning and the arts in medieval society. This image, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the written word held immense power and prestige. The scene of Froissart reading to Gaston de Foix at Orthez in 1388 serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of history and the role of the chronicler as a storyteller and preserver of the past.
