EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient practice of Carthusian monks netting and hooking fish in the serene monastery fishponds of Chartreuse. Founded by St Bruno of Cologne in the 11th century, this Christian religious order has upheld its traditions for centuries. The image is a detailed excerpt from Les Belles Heures du duc Jean de Berry, a manuscript dating back to the 15th century. The scene depicts dedicated monks diligently engaged in their daily task, standing at the edge of the tranquil water with nets and hooks in hand. Their focused expressions reflect their commitment to both religion and sustenance as they skillfully navigate through the intricacies of capturing fish within these sacred grounds. The composition beautifully captures not only the practical aspect but also highlights the spiritual significance behind this activity. The flowing water symbolizes purity and renewal while emphasizing harmony between man and nature. This harmonious relationship is deeply rooted in Carthusian beliefs that encompass simplicity, solitude, and self-sufficiency. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back to medieval France where food was not merely sustenance but an essential part of religious devotion. It serves as a reminder that even amidst spiritual dedication, practical needs must be met. This remarkable photograph offers us a glimpse into an age-old tradition that continues to shape Carthusian life today – one where faith intertwines seamlessly with everyday existence.
