EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ms Lat 17294 Fol. 438 Scenes from the life of Saint Benedict" takes us on a journey back in time to the 15th century. The image is part of the Breviary of the Duke of Bedford, created between 1424 and 1435, and currently housed at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. In this scene, we are transported to a picturesque landscape filled with towering trees and an imposing castle in the background. A group of hunters can be seen engaged in a thrilling boar hunt while riding through the forest on horseback. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element comes alive – from the pulley system used for hunting to the intricate architecture of a nearby church. The artist's skillful hand brings forth various aspects of Saint Benedict's life, including his encounters with wildlife such as stags and serpents. We witness him embarking on a spiritual journey amidst nature's beauty while overcoming temptations represented by devilish figures lurking within this medieval world. The illuminated manuscript showcases not only scenes from Saint Benedict's life but also provides insight into medieval dwelling structures like wattle and daub walls that were prevalent during that era. This extraordinary piece captures both historical significance and artistic brilliance, reminding us of how art has always been intertwined with storytelling throughout centuries past.
