EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable miniature from the "Livre du regime des princes" by Gilles de Rome, depicting Philippe the Bel trunant (1268-1314) in two distinct scenes. The first scene portrays a plowing scene, where a farm vehicle is hitched to a plow as peasants diligently work the field. This illustration beautifully captures the essence of medieval agriculture and highlights the importance of farming in society during that time. The second scene depicts a bustling merchant scene, showcasing maritime trade and commerce. A harbor filled with boats can be seen, symbolizing the economic prosperity brought about by merchant marine activities. The presence of courtiers and clergy further emphasizes the significance of trade in medieval society. Created by an unknown artist in the 13th century, this exquisite miniature offers us a glimpse into French history during Philip IV's reign. It exemplifies not only his power as king but also his involvement in various aspects of society including agriculture and commerce. Preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this artwork serves as an invaluable historical artifact that sheds light on life during the Middle Ages. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, it transports viewers back in time to experience firsthand both rural life on farms and bustling marketplaces. This print by Photo Josse allows us to appreciate this masterpiece even if we cannot see it directly at Bibliotheque Nationale.
