EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph captures a scene from the 9th century, showcasing an intimate moment between a woman and a man. The woman is depicted lying on a bed, adorned with luxurious cushions and bolsters. Her delicate figure exudes elegance as she rests amidst the opulent furnishings. In this enchanting image, the man gently fans her with a peacock-feather fan, providing relief and comfort. The vibrant colors of the handcoloured lithograph bring to life every intricate detail of their attire and surroundings. The artwork originates from an illuminated manuscript by Gregory of Nazianzus, known as MS 510. This historical document holds great significance in understanding ancient history and medieval culture. It offers us glimpses into the fashion, costume, and lifestyle of France during that era. The lithograph itself was created by Villain after an illustration by Horace de Viel-Castel for his renowned collection titled "Costumes, Weapons and Furniture to be Used in the History of France". Treuttel & Wurtz published this remarkable compilation in 1827. As we admire this exquisite print from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only the beauty but also gain insights into societal norms surrounding illness or sickness during those times. This piece serves as both a visual delight and a valuable historical artifact for enthusiasts of French history or medieval manuscripts alike.
