EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th-century print depicts Geoffrey Chaucer, the renowned English poet and author, on his noble steed. The image, believed to have been created around 1475, offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical context of Chaucer's life, approximately 88 years after his death in 1400. Chaucer is best known as the father of English literature, having penned seminal works such as "The Canterbury Tales" and other poetic masterpieces. The print captures Chaucer in the prime of his life, dressed in the attire of a knight, complete with a helmet and a chainmail hauberk. His horse, a fine example of medieval equestrianism, is adorned with decorative trappings and a richly embroidered blanket. The intricate details of the print, from the textured fabric of Chaucer's clothing to the delicate patterns on the horse's blanket, speak to the skill of the engraver. "The Canterbury Tales," a collection of 24 interconnected stories, was first published in its complete form in 1476, around a decade after this print was made. The tales, which include the famous "Prologue" and "General Prologue," are a testament to Chaucer's mastery of storytelling and his ability to capture the essence of medieval life. The print, with its depiction of Chaucer as a knight, serves as a visual reminder of the author's status as a respected and celebrated figure during his time. This print, a precious relic of the past, offers a unique perspective on the life and times of one of England's most revered literary figures. It is a captivating reminder of the rich history and artistic achievements of the medieval period.
