EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Devonshire Hunting Tapestries, which were created in the 15th century in Tournai and are currently housed at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The image transports us back to a time of thrilling bear hunts, an exhilarating form of entertainment popular during that era. In this particular scene, we witness a dramatic confrontation between man and beast. A majestic bear stands tall as it fiercely defends itself against a group of hunters. Dogs can be seen barking ferociously, adding to the intensity of the hunt. The men are dressed in elaborate costumes, reflecting their status and love for spectacle. Amidst this action-packed moment, we notice a musician blowing his horn with great gusto. His melodic tunes echo through the air as if urging on both man and animal alike. This tapestry not only captures the thrill of hunting but also highlights how music played an integral role in such sporting events. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to every intricate detail - from weapons like spears held by determined hunters to expressions etched on their faces revealing determination mixed with trepidation. As we admire this artifact from centuries past, let us reflect on our ever-evolving relationship with animals and how our concept of entertainment has transformed over time.
