EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable manuscript page titled "Representation of the foundation of the city of Troy by the Trojans, of the city of Carthage by Didon and of the city of Rome by Romulus". Created by Jean de Courcy between 1350 and 1431, this historical masterpiece is part of the "Chronicle dit de la Bouquechardiere" collection. The image itself is a miniature created by Maitre de l'Echevinage de Rouen in the 15th century. It beautifully illustrates three significant moments in ancient history: the founding stories behind Troy, Carthage, and Rome. Each scene depicts key figures from these legendary cities as they lay down their foundations. The attention to detail and artistic skill displayed in this miniature are truly awe-inspiring. The vibrant colors and intricate designs transport viewers back in time, allowing them to witness these pivotal events firsthand. Preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this photograph captures not only an extraordinary work but also serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with its own origins.
