EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a facsimile of "May: Courtly Figures on Horseback" from Les Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, created by the talented Limbourg Brothers in the 15th century. The original artwork can be found at the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK. The image transports us back to the Northern Renaissance era, where courtly figures elegantly ride their horses against a picturesque backdrop. The attention to detail is exquisite, as every brushstroke and color choice brings this scene to life. In this particular section of the calendar, we see two zodiac signs represented - Taurus and Gemini. A trumpeter announces their arrival while Apollo, symbolizing the sun itself, shines brightly overhead. The riders are accompanied by a loyal terrier who adds an endearing touch to this regal procession. The composition exudes grace and sophistication with its delicate portrayal of side saddle riding techniques commonly used during that time period. It serves as a reminder of the opulence and grandeur associated with European courts during this golden age of art. As we admire this stunning print from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. This piece allows us to glimpse into a world long gone but forever preserved through art's timeless power.
