EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, capturing a moment of love and romance in the private quarters of a chateau in the Court of Burgundy, France. The image depicts a knight and a lady sitting together in an intimate boudoir setting, their hands delicately intertwined. Created by artist A Bisson in 1849, this enchanting engraving is based on an original 15th-century manuscript illustration from Othea, held by the Royal Library. It beautifully portrays the essence of courtly love that was prevalent during that era. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the timeless charm of this scene as it transports us to a distant past where chivalry and devotion were highly valued. The intricate details captured by Bisson bring life to every element within the room - from the elegant bed adorned with rich fabrics to the loyal dog resting at their feet. This print not only showcases artistic skill but also serves as a window into French history and culture. It reminds us of Christine de Pisan's influential writings on gender equality during this period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how art has always been able to transcend time, allowing us glimpses into different eras while evoking emotions that resonate across centuries.
