EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant chromolithograph captures a lively scene of people joyfully dancing around a fruit tree in the Netherlands during the 15th century. The print, created by French School artists Ferdinand Sere and Aug Racinet in the 19th century, showcases exceptional quality and attention to detail. The image depicts a medieval festival with men, women, and children dressed in elaborate fashions of the time. They are accompanied by dogs, sheep, and other livestock that add to the festive atmosphere. The participants are seen playing various musical instruments while gracefully moving to the rhythm of dance choreography. The fruit tree takes center stage as it symbolizes abundance and sustenance. Its branches hang low with an array of colorful fruits that represent both food supply and botanical beauty. This celebration highlights not only human enjoyment but also emphasizes nature's role in providing nourishment for all. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into Dutch culture from centuries ago – their love for music, dance, community gatherings, and appreciation for bountiful harvests. It serves as a reminder of how traditions evolve over time while still maintaining their essence. This print is part of Les Arts Somptuaires' historical costume series published in Hangard-Mauge's "Histoire du Costume et de l'Amueublement" (1858). Preserved within private collections today, it continues to inspire viewers with its vivid colors and rich cultural significance.
