EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully carved ivory border of a chessboard, depicting courtly life in the year 1415. Created by the French School in the 15th century, this intricate piece can be found at the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, Tuscany, Italy. The exquisite craftsmanship is evident as we observe various elements that bring this medieval scene to life. A dog playfully stands beside a table adorned with sumptuous food and drink, symbolizing indulgence and opulence. Courtship is also depicted through two lovers engaged in conversation while holding hands. The attention to detail is remarkable; every carving tells a story. The courtiers are dressed elegantly, reflecting their high social status within Burgundian society. A pitcher sits on the table alongside an ornate walking stick or cane, further emphasizing their refined taste and sophistication. This artwork transports us back to a time when chivalry and grandeur were highly valued. It offers us a glimpse into the world of nobility during the 15th century, where courtly rituals and lavish banquets were commonplace. Bridgeman Images has captured this extraordinary piece from Fine Art Finder without any mention of commercial use. Instead, they allow us to appreciate its historical significance and artistic beauty for purely aesthetic purposes.
