EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms Hunter 252 f. 186r Two women fighting, from Les Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles, 1462" takes us back to the medieval era with its exquisite vellum texture and intricate details. The image is a snapshot of a dramatic scene from the renowned collection of burlesque tales called Les Cent Nouvelles Nouvelles, which were told at the court of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy. In this particular illustration, we witness two women engaged in an intense fight within a bustling town setting. Their aggression is palpable as they scratch and pull each other's hair in a display of raw emotion. The illuminated manuscript showcases not only their physical struggle but also captures the architectural beauty surrounding them. The artist skillfully brings out every aspect of this dispute - from the expressions on their faces to their body language filled with jealousy and anger. This miniature artwork serves as a testament to both the violent nature that sometimes prevailed during those times and the artistic talent that went into creating such detailed illuminations. Preserved by Glasgow University Library, Scotland, this rare manuscript holds historical significance as it represents one of few surviving copies of its kind. Although traditionally attributed to Antoine de la Sale, recent research has discredited his authorship while suggesting Philippe Pot as another possible writer behind these tales. Bridgeman Images beautifully presents this piece through Fine Art Finder without mentioning any commercial use restrictions for viewers' enjoyment and appreciation for medieval art enthusiasts worldwide.
