EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an antique illustration of a lunch scene from the 16th century Flemish gentleman's life. Taken from the renowned Grimani Breviary, a masterpiece of Flemish manuscript illumination once owned by Cardinal Domenico Grimani, this artwork offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the wealthy and powerful bourgeoisie in Flanders. The breviary features a monthly calendar adorned with stunning scenes for each month, and here we witness January's depiction of an everyday activity - an important person's lunch or perhaps even a hunting party. The image transports us back in time to an era filled with grandeur and sophistication. The intricate details captured in this vertical cut-out print allow us to appreciate the wealth and luxury that surrounded these individuals. Silverware gleams on the table as men engage in conversation while enjoying their meal. Amidst this lavish setting, we notice elements that reflect both cultural practices and historical context: hunting dogs stand nearby, symbolizing nobility; small figurines add artistic flair; and medieval illuminated letters hint at religious significance. With its retro-styled aesthetic reminiscent of Victorian times, this antique illustration evokes nostalgia for a bygone era. It serves as not only a visual delight but also as a valuable piece of history preserved through artistry. This print is perfect for those who appreciate classical style, admire historical artifacts or seek to immerse themselves in centuries-old traditions.
