EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FOOL, c1290" takes us back to the medieval era in England. The image showcases a fool, adorned with vibrant attire and a jester's hat, holding both a club and bread. This fascinating manuscript illumination from an English psalter provides us with a glimpse into daily life during this time. The fool's expression is enigmatic, inviting viewers to ponder the role of entertainment in medieval society. With his weapon at hand, we are left wondering if he was not only an entertainer but also served as protection or amusement for the nobility. The intricate details of his clothing and accessories speak volumes about the craftsmanship of the period. The historiated initial letter accompanying this illustration adds another layer of artistic beauty to this piece. Its delicate handwriting enhances our appreciation for the artistry that went into creating such manuscripts.
