EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the medieval era, immersing us in the thrilling world of stag hunting. The image is a facsimile of a fifteenth-century miniature from Gaston Phoebus' renowned manuscript, 'Phoebus and his Staff for hunting Wild Animals'. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to a time when chivalrous knights and skilled hunters pursued majestic stags through lush forests. The caption accompanying the print offers intriguing insight into the practices described by Gaston Phoebus in his Livre de Chasse (Book of the Hunt). It reads, "The way to skin and cut up a Stag" revealing that this manuscript not only depicted hunting scenes but also provided practical instructions on how to handle game after it was caught. This attention to detail demonstrates both Phoebus' expertise as well as his desire to educate others about proper hunting techniques. 'Manners, Customs & Dress during the Middle Ages and during the Renaissance Period, ' written by Paul Lacroix in 1874, serves as our window into this fascinating historical moment. Published by Chapman and Hall in London, Lacroix's work brings together various aspects of medieval life including clothing styles, social customs, and even culinary traditions. As we admire this exquisite print from Fine Art Finder courtesy of Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate its ability to transport us back centuries ago. It reminds us that history is not just words on paper; it is alive within these illustrations that capture moments frozen in time - moments filled with bravery, skillful horsemanship, loyal dogs at their masters' side - all united under one purpose: the pursuit of sustenance amidst nature's beauty.
