EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1435, capturing the essence of an English hunter, gamekeeper, and fisherman. Created in 1849 by artist Drouart, this image is a stunning rendition based on a 15th-century manuscript illustration. It comes from the renowned book "Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance" by Paul Lacroix, Ferdinand Sere, and A Rivaud. In this scene, we witness a man deeply connected with nature as he stands proudly alongside his loyal horse. Clad in traditional hunting attire of the time period, he exudes strength and determination. The deer carcass lying at their feet symbolizes both triumph over nature's challenges and the concept of death that accompanies such pursuits. The composition beautifully captures the rugged beauty of rural England during this era. The monochrome palette adds depth to every detail while emphasizing the timeless quality of these ancient activities: hunting and fishing. As we admire this remarkable piece from centuries past, it serves as a reminder of our enduring connection with nature throughout history. This print evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when men relied on their skills to provide sustenance for themselves and their communities. With its historical significance and artistic excellence, this print is not only visually striking but also holds immense cultural value. It allows us to glimpse into a world long gone yet still resonates with our appreciation for tradition and our natural surroundings.
