EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of a French illuminated manuscript from the 15th century. Titled "Ms 493 fol. 15v The shepherd Menalcas and his unrequited love" it depicts a poignant scene from Virgil's Eclogues, accompanied by commentary by Servius. In this enchanting composition, we see Menalcas, a shepherd who is deeply in love but finds his affections unreciprocated. He stands amidst a picturesque landscape with rolling hills and a serene river flowing nearby. His heartache is palpable as he gazes longingly at Alphesibee, an alluring female figure adorned in an elegant headdress. Alphesibee herself appears to be singing while holding a recorder, her voice carrying through the bucolic surroundings. However, her attention seems to be captured by Daphnis, her lover who has been enchanted by sorcerers using love spells. The intricate details of this medieval masterpiece are truly remarkable - from the meticulously crafted figurines and statuettes adorning the castle walls to the delicate portrayal of sheep grazing peacefully in the background. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported to an idyllic rural setting where love and longing intertwine with magic and sorrow. It serves as a testament to both the artistic prowess of its creators and their ability to capture timeless human emotions within their work.
