EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ms 493 f. 17 An exchange of gifts, from The Eclogues" takes us on a journey back in time to the enchanting world of Virgil's pastoral poem. Created by the French School in the 15th century, this illuminated manuscript captures a scene filled with bucolic charm and rustic beauty. In this idyllic landscape, we find ourselves amidst rolling hills and lush greenery surrounding an ancient castle. A group of shepherds clad in tunics gather near a turret, engaged in an exchange of presents. With hats adorning their heads and flutes and recorders at hand, they create a harmonious atmosphere that resonates with the spirit of Arcadia. A male shepherd offers a gift to his fellow companion while sheep graze peacefully nearby. The moat surrounding the castle adds an air of mystery and grandeur to this rural setting. A lamb frolics playfully under the watchful eye of its shepherd. The intricate details captured within this illuminated manuscript transport us into another era where simplicity reigns supreme. It is a reminder that even amidst castles and dwellings fit for nobility, it is often these humble exchanges between peasants that bring true joy and fulfillment. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of Vergil's timeless words: "Gifts will come when you have made room for them. "
