Fishing with Seine Net: A Medieval Pastime (13th Century) This evocative image transports us back to the 13th century, capturing a moment in time when the simple pleasures of rural life held great appeal. The scene depicts a group of fishermen, their faces etched with the focus and determination that comes with the pursuit of a livelihood from the natural world. They stand waist-deep in a clear, shallow river, their gazes fixed on the water as they prepare to cast their seine net. Seine netting was a popular method of fishing during the Middle Ages, particularly in Europe. The technique involves creating a large, circular net that is drawn through the water in a sweeping motion, encircling schools of fish. The net is then pulled back to the shore, trapping the fish within its folds. The fishermen in this print are dressed in the attire of the period, with loose tunics and hose, and some wear protective leggings to shield them from the cold water. Their tools are rudimentary but effective: a wooden net handle, a length of rope, and the net itself, woven from hemp or flax. The water in the background is calm and still, reflecting the clear, sunny day. The trees in the distance are in full leaf, their branches swaying gently in the breeze. The overall effect is one of peace and tranquility, a moment of respite from the hustle and bustle of medieval life. This print offers a glimpse into the past, a reminder of the close relationship between people and the natural world in times gone by. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of fishing as a pastime, and a reminder of the simple joys that can be found in the pursuit of a living from the land and the sea.
