EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to medieval times, capturing the essence of a swineherd and his loyal herd of pigs. Reproduced from a calendar in a book of hours, this artwork by Paul Lacroix showcases the intricate details and rich colors that defined the era. The image depicts a hardworking farmer amidst an idyllic landscape dotted with majestic oak trees. With a club in hand, he stands tall as the protector of his precious livestock. The pigs eagerly gather around him, their snouts buried deep in piles of nuts and acorns scattered on the ground. It is fascinating to witness this ancient practice of feeding and herding these animals, which were not just ordinary pigs but wild boars - symbols of strength and vitality during medieval times. The swineherd's connection with nature is evident as he ensures his herd's nourishment while surrounded by bountiful oak trees. This reproduction captures both the beauty and simplicity of rural life centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, where technology dominates our daily lives, there is still something enchanting about witnessing traditional farming practices passed down through generations. As we admire this remarkable piece from Ken Welsh's private collection, it allows us to appreciate history's timeless charm while celebrating the enduring bond between humans and animals.
