EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts the romantic tale of "Romaut, the Botouche," also known as "The Roses of Love," a 14th-century French poem that has captivated audiences for centuries. The poem, believed to have been first published in the late 14th century, is a chivalric romance that tells the story of Romaut, a knight who falls deeply in love with a beautiful and mysterious woman named Criseyde. The poem is notable for its exploration of the complexities of love and its portrayal of Criseyde as a strong and independent woman, defying the traditional roles of women in medieval literature. The image showcases Romaut and Criseyde in a tender moment, surrounded by a lush garden filled with roses, a symbol of love and passion. The intricate details of the illustration, from the delicate petals of the roses to the intricate patterns on Romaut's armor, demonstrate the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The use of rich colors and shading adds depth and texture to the print, transporting us back to the medieval world and allowing us to experience the timeless beauty and romance of "The Roses of Love." This print is a testament to the enduring power of literature and the human emotion it evokes. It is a reminder of the rich literary heritage we have inherited from the past and the continued relevance of stories that explore the complexities of love and the human heart.
