EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th-century print depicts the legendary encounter between Paris and Viana, a tale deeply rooted in Catalan literature. The image, published in Barcelona in 1494 by Diego Gumiel, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of medieval Spain. Paris and Viana, two iconic figures from the Latin and Catalan literary traditions, are depicted in this engraving as a bird and an eagle, respectively. The story goes that Paris, represented by the bird, visited Viana's nest to ask for her hand in marriage for her father, King Monleon. Viana, symbolized by the eagle, demanded that Paris prove his worthiness by answering three riddles. Paris solved all three, and as a reward, Viana agreed to marry him. The intricate details of this print reflect the artistic mastery of the 15th century. The delicate lines and shading create a sense of depth and texture, while the use of Latin and Catalan scripts adds to the historical significance of the image. The page on which the print is found is a reminder of the importance of literature in the Middle Ages, a time when stories and myths were passed down through oral tradition and written records. This print, now housed in the Library of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain, is a precious artifact of the past that continues to captivate and inspire. It offers a glimpse into the world of medieval Spain, a world of myth, language, and artistic expression that remains an essential part of our cultural heritage.
