EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ms 493 fol. 1r The Works of Virgil with Commentary by Servius, The Bucolics" transports us back to France in the year 1469. Created by an unknown French artist from the 15th century, this exquisite piece is housed in the Bibliotheque Municipale in Dijon, France. The image showcases a scene of great importance and power as we witness a king seated on his majestic throne. Surrounding him are his loyal guards, standing tall and vigilant. In front of them lies a fortified town with towering castle walls that exude strength and protection. As our eyes wander through this intricate illuminated manuscript, we notice peasants going about their daily lives within the safety of these city walls. Their presence adds depth to the composition, reminding us that even amidst grandeur and authority, ordinary people continue their existence. Intriguingly enough, soldiers can be seen engaging in what appears to be a lively dance near a moat surrounding one of the castles. This unexpected sight brings forth questions about celebration or perhaps even preparation for battle. The level of detail captured on vellum is truly remarkable; every stroke seems to come alive under careful examination. It serves as a testament to both the talent of its creator and the historical significance it holds within its pages. This extraordinary photograph allows us to delve into history's embrace while marveling at its artistic brilliance—a true treasure preserved for generations to come.
