EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing illustration from the 15th-century Livre des Eschecs D Amour, held in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. The image features Ms Fr 9197 fol. 187 Pan, the god of woods and fields, shepherds, fertility, and flocks. With his cloven hoofed feet and goat's legs, he stands amidst a picturesque landscape adorned with vibrant flowers and towering spires. The intricate manuscript includes delicate details such as thistles and wild strawberries scattered throughout the scene. A text accompanies the illustration while a fly hovers nearby, adding an element of realism to this mythical depiction. Pan is depicted holding syrinx pipes to his lips while sporting distinctive horns on his head. A butterfly flutters by as if drawn to his enchanting presence. Known as the green man or faunus, Pan exudes an aura of wilderness and harmony with nature. This illuminated miniature captures both the beauty of nature and the divine power associated with Pan's role as a deity. The inclusion of various insects further emphasizes the connection between animals and wildlife within this mystical realm. As part of Bridgeman Images' collection from Fine Art Finder, this extraordinary print transports viewers back in time to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its cultural significance during one of history's most fascinating periods.
