Painted by the talented Boucicaut Master in 1410-12, this tempera on vellum artwork measures 42x29.8 cm and is currently housed at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. In this particular illustration, we are transported to a mystical wilderness where legendary creatures roam freely amidst towering rocks and lush landscapes. The artist's imagination comes alive as he brings forth an array of fantastical animals including a bear, elephant, and unicorn. These mythical beasts add an element of enchantment to the already breathtaking scenery. The Livre des Merveilles du Monde serves as a compilation of various travelers' tales from different periods such as Marco Polo's expeditions along the Silk Road and Odorico de Pordone's adventures in Asia. It also includes fictional accounts like those of Sir John de Mandeville. Through this illuminated manuscript miniature, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with exploration and discovery during the medieval era.
