The Bridegroom Showing the Bride His Land
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 15th-century woodcut print that offers a glimpse into the world of marriage and land ownership during this era. Created around 1460/1465, this artwork is part of the Canticum Canticorum blockbook, which features Latin script and text. In this image, we see an agricultural worker or farmhand presenting his bride with a view of his land. The groom stands proudly beside her, pointing towards the vast fields that represent their future together. The bride's expression exudes curiosity and awe as she takes in the scene before her. The intricate details of this woodcut are enhanced by touches of red gouache, adding depth to the composition. The lettering on verso further adds to its historical significance. This anonymous masterpiece from Netherlandish origin showcases not only the union between two individuals but also highlights the importance of landownership in society at that time. It serves as a reminder of how heritage art can provide valuable insights into past customs and traditions. Now housed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this print invites viewers to appreciate both its artistic merits and its cultural significance. As we gaze upon "The Bridegroom Showing the Bride His Land" we are transported back to a distant era where love, work, and ownership intertwined in profound ways.
