EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 15th-century prayerbook, "Les Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry" showcasing the month of May. Created by the talented Limbourg Brothers, this artwork offers a glimpse into the rich cultural and musical heritage of that era. In this enchanting image, we see men joyfully playing two distinct musical instruments - the sackbut and natural trumpet. These wind instruments were popular during medieval times and played an essential role in classical music performances. The musicians' skilled hands expertly manipulate these instruments to produce melodious tunes that fill the air with their harmonious sounds. Amidst this lively musical performance, noblemen and ladies can be seen riding gracefully on horseback. Their elegant presence adds an air of sophistication to this vibrant scene, evoking images of chivalry and courtly life in France during that period. The manuscript itself is a testament to Europe's artistic prowess during the Middle Ages, showcasing intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship. Its pages are filled with historical accounts, religious texts, and beautiful illustrations like this one - offering us a window into a bygone era. As we admire this remarkable piece of history through Tamsin Lewis' lens, we are transported back in time to experience the entertainment and cultural significance attached to music in those days. It serves as a reminder of how art has always been intertwined with human expression throughout centuries. This print not only celebrates our shared European heritage but also pays homage to classical music's enduring legacy. It reminds us that even after hundreds of years have passed since its creation; its beauty continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
