EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment from the 15th century, showcasing a hunter training his loyal dogs to respond to the call of a horn. Painted with exquisite detail and adorned with gold and silver paint, this tempera artwork on parchment is an exceptional example of French medieval craftsmanship. The scene depicted in this image is taken from Gaston Phebus de Foix's "Livre de la Chasse" (Book of the Hunt), where he shares his knowledge and expertise on hunting techniques. The count de Foix himself can be seen instructing his hounds amidst a lush forest backdrop, immersing us in the beauty of nature during that era. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece, we are transported back in time to witness the artistry involved in training these magnificent creatures. The bond between man and dog is evident as they attentively listen for their master's command through the sound of the horn. This artwork not only showcases medieval hunting practices but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to form deep connections with animals. It reminds us that throughout history, humans have relied on their animal companions for various purposes, including sport and survival. Displayed at J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, this masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and historical significance.
