EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print captures the essence of a medieval social gathering, set in an idyllic outdoor setting around the year 1430. The scene is filled with the sounds of music and laughter as men and women, dressed in the fashion of the time, engage in a lively and carefree celebration. In the foreground, a group of musicians play various instruments, including a harp, lute, and trumpet, while others notate the music on staves. The festivities continue in the background, where a tub filled with water invites mixed bathing, adding to the playful and relaxed atmosphere. The women, some clad in flowing gowns, join in the merriment, while others recline on blankets, sipping from goblets of wine. The overall mood is one of love, joy, and camaraderie, as the people of the time come together to enjoy each other's company and the simple pleasures of life. The alfresco setting, with its lush greenery and sunlit garden, adds to the beauty and charm of the scene. The print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple joys of music, wine, and the company of friends were enough to bring people together in celebration.
