EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "December - the Chateau de Vincennes, 15th century" takes us back in time to a hunting scene set in the enchanting forests of northern France. Created by Paul Limbourg in 1939, this image is part of the renowned book of hours called "Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry" commissioned for Jean, Duc de Berry. In this particular illustration, we witness an intense moment as dogs eagerly tear apart a wild boar while a man on the right sounds his horn. The Chateau de Vincennes stands proudly in the distance, originally built as a hunting lodge for noble pursuits. Its central donjon still remains intact today. The Limbourg brothers' manuscript illumination skills shine through this artwork, making it one of Europe's finest examples from that era. Held at Musee Conde in Chantilly, France, it showcases their mastery and attention to detail. Transported to another time and place by this image, we can almost feel the thrill and excitement of being part of a medieval hunting party. It captures not only the beauty of nature but also reflects upon historical traditions and customs surrounding aristocratic leisure activities. Published in "Verve - No. 7 Vol II" magazine from France during the 1930s, this photograph print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable glimpse into our rich cultural heritage.
