EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 14th-century "Hunting Book of Gaston Phoebus, Count of Foix, Lord of Bearn". The image depicts a nobleman engaged in the ancient art of hunting deer with a bow. This exquisite manuscript, housed in the Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France, offers us a glimpse into the medieval world and its fascination with hunting. The illuminated miniature showcases intricate details that bring this historical moment to life. The hunter stands poised with his bow drawn back, ready to release an arrow towards his prey. His arm is steady and focused as he takes aim at the majestic deer grazing peacefully nearby. The artist's skillful brushstrokes beautifully capture both the gracefulness of the animal and the intensity of the hunt. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also provides insight into medieval society's relationship with nature and their pursuit for sustenance. It reflects how hunting was not merely a sport but an essential part of survival during those times. Leonard de Selva's expert photography allows us to appreciate every nuance and detail present in this remarkable piece. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back centuries ago when hunters like Gaston Phoebus roamed through forests seeking adventure and sustenance amidst nature's beauty.
