EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a feast meal scene served for King Alexander and his courtiers in the last days of his life. The miniature, taken from "La Vraye Histoire du Bon Roy Alixandre" by Callisthenes (c. 360-328 BC), dates back to the 15th century and is currently housed in the Musee du Petit Palais in Paris, France. In this intricate artwork, we witness a grand display of gastronomy as the king and his entourage indulge in a sumptuous banquet. The table is adorned with an abundance of food, including meat, bread, and various delicacies that tantalize the senses. Courtiers are engaged in lively conversation while servants attend to their every need. The atmosphere is filled with merriment as wine flows freely from goblets held by both nobles and commoners alike. Musicians serenade the gathering with enchanting melodies on their instruments, adding to the festive ambiance. This miniature offers us a glimpse into medieval royal dining customs and provides insight into Alexander's final moments surrounded by opulence and revelry. It serves as a testament to the lavishness of courtly life during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry captured by A© Photo Josse from Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate its historical significance and marvel at how it transports us back through time to experience this momentous occasion alongside King Alexander himself.
