EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century print from the Flemish Book of Hours takes us back in time to witness a thrilling hunting scene. In this illuminated masterpiece, we find ourselves immersed in the daily life of a medieval huntsman. With his cape flowing behind him, he sprints towards his loyal dogs who have successfully retrieved a bird carcass. The illumination showcases the exquisite fashion of the late Renaissance era, with the hunter donning an elegant hat and attire befitting his noble status. Commissioned by Engelbert II of Nassau between 1485-1490, this artwork captures not only a sport but also a form of recreation enjoyed by nobles during that period. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element is meticulously depicted - from the intensity on the man's face to the intricate patterns on his clothing. The artist's skillful use of light and color brings life to this historical moment frozen in time. It transports us into an age where hunting was not merely about survival but also served as entertainment for those privileged enough to partake in it. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our connection to history and how even centuries later, these scenes continue to captivate our imagination. This piece serves as a testament to human fascination with nature and our desire for adventure through various forms such as hunting – an art preserved within these pages for generations to come.
