EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 15th century depicts a significant moment in history - The Bishop of Tournai receiving the tithe of beer. In this scene, we witness the bishop being granted one-tenth of the beer's amount by King Chilperic, showcasing the importance and influence of both religious and royal figures during this era. The setting takes place in Tournai, Belgium, as evident from the stunning view through the windows of Tournai Cathedral. The artist skillfully captures several individuals engaged in this transaction, emphasizing their distinctive costumes and attire that reflect European fashion trends at that time. A prominent feature within this artwork is a collection of wooden barrels filled with beer. These barrels symbolize not only a popular beverage but also represent trade and commerce during medieval times. They serve as a reminder of how essential brewing was to society's economy and daily life. Through intricate engravings and detailed illustrations, we are transported back to an era where customs, manners, and dress were vastly different from our own. This print offers us a glimpse into history - an opportunity to explore Europe's rich cultural heritage during the Middle Ages. As we admire this remarkable piece by an unknown artist from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us appreciate its historical significance while marveling at its artistic beauty.
