EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 15th century, offering a glimpse into the art of approaching beasts. Originally an illustration from a manuscript, this 19th-century version showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our ancestors. The image depicts a male hunter carefully concealing himself behind a cloth as he patiently waits for his prey. Intriguingly, this engraving highlights the concept of camouflage in warfare during medieval times. The hunter's attire blends seamlessly with his surroundings, allowing him to remain hidden from unsuspecting animals. Armed with both arrow and crossbow, he exemplifies the skillful use of weaponry prevalent in that era. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to this scene, emphasizing the seriousness and dedication required for successful hunting expeditions during those times. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of the Count of Foix - Gaston Phoebus - who was renowned for his passion for hunting. Preserved through centuries by dedicated collectors such as Paul Lacroix, Ferdinand Sere, and A Rivaud; this print serves as a window into history. It offers us an opportunity to appreciate not only its artistic value but also gain insights into ancient techniques employed by hunters long ago. Let us cherish these remnants from our past that allow us to connect with our ancestors' way of life – their skills passed down through generations – forever captured within this remarkable depiction.
