EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning scene from "The book of hunting" by Gaston III Phoebus, Count of Foix, Lord of Bearn. Dating back to the 14th century, this masterpiece captures the essence of medieval hunting with its intricate details and vibrant colors. In this particular image, we are transported to a wild boar hunt in the heart of Chantilly's lush forests. A group of skilled horsemen, armed with lances and accompanied by their loyal hounds, gallop through the undergrowth in pursuit of their prey. The tension is palpable as man and animal engage in an exhilarating chase. The miniature format adds to the charm and delicacy of this artwork. Each stroke meticulously painted on parchment brings life to every element: from the muscular horses charging forward with determination to the fierce wild boar fiercely defending itself against its pursuers. As we gaze upon this piece, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates both leisure and danger within a single frame. It serves as a testament to our ancestors' love for outdoor pursuits while also reminding us that nature's power should never be underestimated. Displayed in Musee Conde at Chantilly, France, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only Gaston III Phoebus' artistic talent but also offers us a glimpse into medieval society's fascination with hunting—a pastime that has shaped human culture throughout history.
