EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Sister Hildegard, also known as the Second Nun, from Geoffrey Chaucer's iconic work "The Canterbury Tales." The Sister, dressed in her traditional nun's habit, gracefully rides a horse in the elegant side-saddle position, a popular mode of riding for women during the late medieval period. The scene is believed to be set in the early 1380s, making this image a unique glimpse into historical equestrian practices and the daily life of a nun during this time. Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," published in 1387, is a collection of 24 interconnected stories, each narrated by a different character on a pilgrimage to Canterbury Cathedral. The Second Nun's Tale is one of the most famous stories in the collection, recounting the lives of three saints: Saint Cecilia, Saint Agnes, and Saint Irene. The Sister's horse appears calm and obedient, its ears pricked forward, as it carries its rider through the verdant landscape. The Sister's serene expression and her gentle hold on the reins convey a sense of peace and tranquility. The image is further enhanced by the beautiful details of her habit, the intricate patterns of her saddle, and the lush greenery surrounding the scene. This photograph print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective on the daily life of a medieval nun and the equestrian practices of the late 14th century. The image is not only an intriguing historical document but also an exquisite work of art that captures the essence of a bygone era.
