EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the 13th-century French manuscript, "Ms Fr. 95 fol. 113v Council of Demons, from l Histoire de Merlin". The image transports us to a world of mythical creatures and dark enchantment. In this intricate artwork, we witness a gathering of demons in what appears to be a bedroom setting. A monstrous creature with horns stands prominently at the center, exuding an aura of malevolence. Its presence is both fascinating and terrifying. The composition also features a manticore—a legendary beast with the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion—perched on top of an intricately designed bed. Another demon lies beside it, entangled with a woman—an unsettling depiction that hints at temptation and evil forces at play. As we delve deeper into this medieval masterpiece, we can discern references to holy grail mythology and the conception of Merlin—the renowned wizard from Arthurian legends. These elements add layers of intrigue to an already enigmatic tableau. With its meticulous details rendered on vellum by skilled hands centuries ago, this artwork serves as both an artistic marvel and historical artifact. Preserved in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, it continues to captivate viewers today. Through this print captured by Fine Art Finder's lens, we are granted access to an ancient world teeming with supernatural beings—a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with tales that blur the line between reality and fantasy
