EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible talent of Villard de Honnecourt, a renowned medieval artist. Titled "Ms. Fr. 19093 fol. 14v Two wrestlers, plan of a Cistercian church" this image takes us back in time to witness an extraordinary blend of art and architecture. In the foreground, two muscular wrestlers engage in a fierce struggle, their bodies contorted with strength and determination. This depiction not only captures the physicality of the sport but also symbolizes the eternal battle between good and evil. Behind them lies an intricate plan of a Cistercian church, meticulously sketched by Villard de Honnecourt himself. The delicate pen strokes reveal his deep understanding of Gothic architecture as he carefully outlines every detail – from arches to columns – creating a blueprint that would guide future builders for centuries to come. Adjacent to it is another sketch depicting the choir of Notre-Dame de Cambrai, showcasing Villard's versatility as an artist. His ability to capture both grandeur and intimacy is evident in this drawing, transporting us into the sacred space where harmonious chants once echoed through its hallowed halls. This facsimile copy serves as a testament to Villard de Honnecourt's genius and his invaluable contribution to medieval artistry. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this artwork continues to inspire awe and admiration among art enthusiasts worldwide.
