EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 15th century, immersing us in the world of Geoffrey Chaucer's renowned work, The Canterbury Tales. Illustrated by an unknown English artist and printed by William Caxton, this woodcut depicts a scene from "Here Begynneth the Knightes Tale". Intricately detailed, the image showcases a knight on horseback, adorned with armor and trappings befitting his noble status. The charger beneath him exudes strength and grace as it carries its rider through a medieval landscape. This snapshot captures not only the physicality of these majestic creatures but also their significance in historical contexts. The manuscript-style aesthetic adds an air of authenticity to this illustration, transporting us into the heart of medieval literature. It serves as a reminder that storytelling has always been intertwined with artistry throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are reminded of how horses have long been companions to humans – symbols of power, loyalty, and adventure. Their presence in this artwork evokes feelings of awe for both their beauty and their role in shaping narratives. With every glance at this photo print, we are transported back centuries ago when knights roamed the land on horseback; where tales were spun around campfires under starlit skies. It is truly a window into another world - one filled with chivalry, bravery, and timeless stories waiting to be told.
