EDITORS COMMENTS
This 14th century print depicts an exhilarating moment during a ladies' hunt, as they pursue a majestic stag through the forest. The scene is filled with a sense of energy and excitement, as the mounted women, dressed in elegant robes and headdresses, release their arrows towards the fleeing deer. One woman, with a determined expression, blows a hunting horn to rally her companions and coordinate their attack. A fierce dog, embodying the spirit of the chase, lunges at the stag, its teeth bared and claws extended. The stag, with its impressive antlers and powerful legs, puts up a valiant fight, but the skilled hunters are relentless in their pursuit. This hand-coloured lithograph, taken from an illuminated manuscript, provides a fascinating glimpse into the pastimes and sports of the 14th century English nobility. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to an era of chivalry, hunting, and the thrill of the chase. The print, by renowned sports and pastimes illustrator Joseph Strutt, is a testament to the rich history of hunting traditions in Europe. It showcases the skill, dedication, and camaraderie of the ladies as they work together to bring down their quarry. This image is a must-have for any collection of historical art or for those with an interest in the history of hunting and the role of women in medieval society.
