EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning scene from the "Livre des Merveilles du Monde" (Book of Wonders of the World), created by an anonymous French School artist in the 15th century. The artwork, titled "Ms Fr 2810 f. 18, Porcupine hunt in Badakhehan" depicts a thrilling porcupine hunt taking place in Badakhehan. The tempera on vellum painting beautifully captures the medieval landscape of Asia as described by Marco Polo during his legendary journey along the Silk Road. The illustration portrays huntsmen armed with horns and walking sticks, accompanied by their faithful hounds, eagerly pursuing spiny porcupines through dense vegetation. The image transports us back to a time when exploration and adventure were at their peak, highlighting both the historical significance and artistic mastery of manuscript illuminations during this period. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life not only the wild animals but also convey a sense of excitement and danger that permeated these hunting expeditions. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of Rustichello da Pisa's collaboration with Marco Polo in writing "Il Milione" also known as "The Travels of Marco Polo". This masterpiece serves as a visual representation of their incredible encounters along the Spice Route and offers us a glimpse into an era filled with discovery and wonder. Through this photograph print from Fine Art Finder, we can appreciate both the beauty of nature's creatures and humanity's thirst for exploration that defined our past.
