EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century transports us back to the 13th century, where we witness a fascinating moment between Marie of Brabant and troubadour Adenes le Roi. Marie, Queen Consort of King Philip III of France, is depicted watching intently as Adenes performs his enchanting songs. The illustration comes from Illustrierte Weltgeschichte fur das Volk (Ernst Wiest, Leipzig, 1893), adding an extra layer of historical significance. In this snapshot of medieval life, we are reminded of the power and influence that music held during this era. Songs, ballads, and canticles were not only sources of entertainment but also served as a means for storytelling and cultural expression. The image captures a sense of leisure and recreation in Marie's spare time. As a woman in this period, she defies societal expectations by engaging with music and embracing her own feminine interests. The engraving beautifully portrays the intricate details associated with the Middle Ages - from Marie's regal attire to Adenes' musical instrument. It serves as a reminder that history is not just about political events or grand narratives; it is also about individual stories and moments that shape our understanding of the past. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing us to appreciate its beauty while delving into centuries-old tales woven through artistry.
