EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts a scene from the court of Philippe III, Duke of Bourgogne (1419-1467), also known as Philippe the Good, in the 15th century. The Duke, dressed in his regal robes and adorned with the Order of the Golden Fleece, sits on his throne, surrounded by his nobles and courtiers. The atmosphere is one of grandeur and opulence, with rich fabrics, intricate jewelry, and ornate furnishings filling the room. Philippe the Good was one of the most powerful rulers in Europe during the late Middle Ages, ruling over the Burgundian Netherlands, which included present-day Belgium, Luxembourg, and parts of France. He was known for his patronage of the arts, literature, and learning, and his court was a center of cultural and intellectual activity. The scene depicted in the print may be a representation of a formal audience or a banquet, with the Duke receiving homage from his vassals and hearing their petitions. The nobles and courtiers, dressed in their finest attire, engage in animated conversation, while servants attend to their every need. The print also offers a glimpse into the social hierarchy of the time, with the Duke at the center of attention, surrounded by his most trusted advisors and nobles. The courtiers, arranged in a hierarchical order based on their rank and importance, pay homage to the Duke and seek his favor. Overall, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and political life of the court of Philippe the Good, a time of grandeur, opulence, and cultural achievement in European history.
