EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 14th-century "Book of Hunting" by Gaston Phoebus, Count of Foix. The image showcases a wolf in the midst of beating its prey, illustrating the raw power and instinctual nature of these carnivorous creatures. The illumination and intricate details within this miniature painting bring to life the intensity and hunger that drives both predator and prey. The French School's masterful craftsmanship is evident in every brushstroke, as they skillfully depict the tension between animal and hunter. This snapshot into medieval hunting practices offers a glimpse into a time when survival relied on one's ability to track down food sources in the wild. Located at Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France, this historical artifact serves as a reminder of our connection with wildlife throughout history. It reminds us that even centuries ago, humans were fascinated by animals' behavior and their place within our ecosystem. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully captures this ancient manuscript for all to appreciate today. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where wolves roamed freely amidst lush forests, embodying both fear and admiration. Let it serve as a testament to the enduring fascination humanity has had with these majestic creatures throughout time.
