EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the enchanting "Hours of Marguerite d Orleans" manuscript, dating back to the 15th century. In this particular illustration, we are transported to November, where deer hunting takes center stage. The French School artist skillfully incorporates elements of religious symbolism by including the Trinity in the title letter illumination. The image showcases a group of hunters on horseback, armed with crossbows and accompanied by their faithful hounds. They navigate through a picturesque landscape adorned with bullrushes and majestic swans gracefully gliding across a serene pond. A magnificent stag stands proudly at the forefront, its antlers reaching towards the sky. As we delve deeper into this artwork's intricate details, we notice delicate creatures such as butterflies and dragonflies fluttering around in harmony with nature. Even amidst an intense hunt, these small insects remind us of life's beauty and fragility. The presence of cherubim hovering above adds an ethereal touch to this medieval masterpiece. Their angelic forms serve as guardians over both man and beast during this exhilarating chase. This extraordinary print is part of Bridgeman Images' collection that celebrates artistry throughout history. It allows us to appreciate not only the artistic techniques employed by our ancestors but also offers insight into their cultural practices and beliefs surrounding wildlife conservation and spirituality.
