EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SPAIN: MEDIEVAL FISHING" takes us back to the 13th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Spain. The image showcases a scene of Muslims fishing off the coast, captured through an exquisite manuscript illumination from the Cantigas de Alfonso X. In this mesmerizing artwork, we witness a group of men aboard a boat, skillfully maneuvering their nets to catch fish. Their attire reflects their Muslim heritage, with turbans adorning their heads and traditional garments draping their bodies. The vibrant colors used in the manuscript illumination bring life to this medieval fishing expedition. The coastal landscape surrounding them adds depth and context to the scene. With its exterior beauty, it serves as a reminder of Spain's geographical richness and its historical significance as a hub for maritime activities during that era. This print is part of Bradley Smith's Carousel Collection, which aims to preserve and showcase remarkable moments from various periods in history. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only the artistry behind medieval manuscript illuminations but also gain insight into cultural interactions between different communities in medieval Spain.
