EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 15th century, showcasing the art of deer hunting. In this vibrant image, hounds and mounted huntsmen can be seen blowing horns as they chase a majestic stag through a dense forest. The photograph is derived from "Le Livre de la Chasse" (Book of the Hunt), an illuminated manuscript created by Gaston III Phoebus, Comte de Foix. The composition exudes energy and movement as the hunters gallop on their horses with determination, accompanied by their loyal hounds. The rich colors bring to life the medieval atmosphere, transporting viewers back in time to witness this thrilling pursuit firsthand. Gaston III's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush or pen. From the intricate patterns on horse saddles to the expressions on both human and animal faces, each element has been carefully crafted to create a visually stunning piece of artwork. This historical snapshot not only showcases the skillful technique employed during that era but also provides insight into French culture and traditions at that time. It serves as a reminder of our connection with nature and how hunting was once an integral part of society for sustenance and sport. As we admire this remarkable print today, we are reminded of Gaston III's artistic prowess and his contribution to preserving history through his illuminations.
