EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from the "Hunting Book of Gaston Phoebus, Count of Foix" a 14th-century manuscript. The image transports us back to the Middle Ages, where we witness a thrilling wolf hunt orchestrated by Gaston Phoebus himself. In this illuminated miniature, we see the noble lord leading his hunting party through a dense forest. Clad in regal attire and armed with spears and bows, they exude power and determination as they track down their elusive prey. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this medieval spectacle to life. The focus of the composition is undoubtedly on the fierce wolves that are being pursued. With their menacing eyes and bared teeth, these wild creatures embody both danger and resilience. Their presence adds an element of excitement to the artwork, reminding us of the primal nature of hunting in ancient times. Leonard de Selva's expert photography captures every nuance of this historical masterpiece housed in Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only the artistic skill involved in creating such illuminations but also gain insight into the medieval mindset regarding wildlife conservation. This print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with both art history and our complex relationship with animals throughout time. It invites us to reflect on how our perceptions have evolved while appreciating the timeless beauty captured within its frame.
