EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 14th-century print, we are transported back in time to witness a lively game taking place. Two individuals engage in a spirited activity reminiscent of Blind Man's Buff, an ancient pastime that has transcended generations. This particular scene is captured with intricate detail by the talented illuminator Jehan de Grise in the Romance of Alexander, dating back to c1340. The image showcases the essence of daily life during medieval times, shedding light on the leisurely pursuits and recreational activities enjoyed by men of that era. The Flemish influence is evident through its artistic style and attention to minute details. Both participants are depicted wearing hoods, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to their playful encounter. As they immerse themselves in this enchanting game, their hooded figures create an atmosphere shrouded in excitement and anticipation. This remarkable illumination from The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection offers us a glimpse into history—a window into a world where entertainment was found not through modern technology but rather through simple yet engaging games like Blind Man's Buff. It serves as a reminder that even amidst the challenges of medieval life, people found solace and joy in moments of recreation. As we contemplate this mesmerizing artwork, let us appreciate how our ancestors sought amusement without relying on screens or devices—instead finding delight within each other's company and embracing the beauty of human connection.
