Feasting in the Middle Aages
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and intricately detailed print by the renowned English illustrator Pauline Baynes, depicting a lively and extravagant medieval feast. The scene transports us back in time to the 14th or 15th century, where the air is filled with the rich aroma of roasting meats and the sound of merrymaking. At the heart of the banquet, a long table is laden with an array of exotic dishes, including roast heron and peacock, delicately arranged on fine china. The diners, dressed in the ornate garb of the era, are fully immersed in their meal, their faces a picture of delight and satisfaction. But the entertainment isn't just limited to the sumptuous food. A jester, dressed in motley and a conical hat, stands at the head of the table, his face painted with a mischievous grin. He holds a staff topped with a bell, ready to ring it to signal the start of his antics. By his side, two performing monkeys, dressed in tiny costumes, dance and play, their agile movements adding to the merriment of the occasion. The festivities continue around the table, with musicians playing lively tunes on various instruments, and the clinking of goblets as the diners raise a toast to the joyous occasion. The atmosphere is one of celebration and unity, a testament to the rich and vibrant society of the Middle Ages. Pauline Baynes' masterful use of color and detail brings this medieval feast to life, transporting us to a time of wonder and joy. This print is a true treasure for anyone with an interest in history, art, or the simple pleasure of a good feast.
