EDITORS COMMENTS
In this color lithograph, we are transported back to the lavish banqueting halls of the Middle Ages. The scene depicts Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, hosting a sumptuous feast for his esteemed guest, Louis, Dauphin of France. As trumpeters announce their arrival with a resounding fanfare, guests donning opulent costumes fill the grand hall. The artist skillfully captures the opulence and extravagance of the occasion. Tables adorned with an array of delectable dishes stretch as far as the eye can see, tempting both sight and palate. The Duke's ambition to impress is evident in every detail - from intricately carved buffets to meticulously arranged table settings. However, hidden beneath this facade lies a cautionary tale. King Charles VII of France watches on with skepticism and foreboding knowledge about his cunning and ungrateful son. He remarks wryly that "My cousin of Burgundy feeds a fox who will eat his chickens". This poignant moment captured in history serves as a reminder that even amidst grandeur and indulgence, treachery may lurk in unexpected places. It speaks volumes about power dynamics and political intrigue during this era. Through this evocative print by Job (pseudonym for Onfray de Breville), we are given a glimpse into an extravagant feast where appearances deceive and ambitions clash against each other's interests. It invites us to reflect upon human nature throughout history - our desires for wealth, status, and influence often entwined with duplicity or betrayal.
