EDITORS COMMENTS
Interlude during the meal, 14th century (1849): A Glimpse into Medieval Royalty and Warfare". This print takes us back to the 14th century, offering a glimpse into a fascinating interlude during a medieval meal. Created by Kellerhoven in 1849 as part of "Le Moyen Age Et La Renaissance", this chromolithograph faithfully reproduces a miniature from the Chronicles of St Denis housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France. In this scene, we witness an extraordinary gathering of princes and bishops seated around a grand table adorned with sumptuous furniture. The attention to detail is remarkable, capturing every intricate element - from the elaborate clothing worn by these noble figures to their expressions reflecting both regality and intrigue. To the left of the table stands an imposing ship, symbolizing exploration and adventure amidst turbulent waters. On the right side, a vivid siege scene unfolds, reminding us of the constant battles that shaped medieval Europe. The lithograph's vibrant colors bring life to this historical moment while paying homage to French artistry. It serves as a testament to Paul Lacroix's editorial vision and Ferdinand Sere's artistic direction. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported not only through time but also across professions and social classes. From kings and bishops down to servants attending diligently at their masters' sides – each person plays their role within society's intricate tapestry. This remarkable piece invites us to reflect on religion, war, transportation methods like ships used for trade or conquests - all integral aspects that defined life during this period. Through its meticulous details and rich symbolism, it offers an immersive experience into one of history's most captivating eras: The Middle Ages.
