1340 1400 Chaucer Geoffrey Lirippe Rosary Tunic


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back to Old England of the late 14th century, as we gaze upon the wise and contemplative visage of Geoffrey Chaucer, the celebrated English poet. Born in 1340, Chaucer is considered a founding father of the English literary tradition, renowned for his works such as "The Canterbury Tales." Dressed in the somber tones of the era, Chaucer is depicted in a long, grey tunic, the folds of which suggest both comfort and dignity. His face, framed by a voluminous grey beard, bears the lines of age and wisdom. In his hands, he cradles a rosary, a symbol of his deep religious faith. The intricate beads, with their smooth, polished surfaces, contrast sharply with the rough texture of his tunic, highlighting the juxtaposition between the spiritual and the earthly. The background of the print is shrouded in shadow, drawing our focus to the figure of Chaucer. The dimly lit room, with its aged wooden walls and beams, speaks to the passage of time and the enduring legacy of this literary giant. The atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, as if Chaucer is lost in thought, penning the verses that would come to define English literature. This print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the rich history of Old England and the enduring influence of its most revered literary figures.
