EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from the Book of Hours of Louis d'Orleans, dating back to 1490. The image depicts a king lying in bed, surrounded by an array of fascinating elements that transport us to medieval times. The king's regal presence is evident as he rests comfortably on his luxurious bed, adorned with exquisite linens and pillows fit for royalty. His majestic crown sits nearby, symbolizing his authority and power. A female figure stands attentively beside him, possibly a servant or maid attending to his needs. Intriguingly, an illuminated manuscript lies open on the bedside table, indicating the intellectual pursuits and cultural interests of this noble ruler. An apple placed delicately next to it adds an element of mystery - perhaps representing temptation or knowledge. The composition is further enhanced by the inclusion of a knife held firmly in the hand of another male figure standing at the foot of the bed. This unexpected detail raises questions about potential threats or hidden agendas within this intimate setting. Through its meticulous details and vibrant colors, this print offers us a glimpse into a bygone era filled with opulence and intrigue. It serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and historians alike who seek to unravel the stories embedded within these ancient illuminated manuscripts.
