EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 14th-century "Book of Hunting" by Gaston Phoebus, Count of Foix. The image showcases a moment in time when a skilled hunter takes aim at a hare with his bow and arrow. Illuminated with intricate details, this miniature artwork brings to life the excitement and precision required in medieval hunting. The French School's craftsmanship is evident in every stroke of this masterpiece. The delicate lines and vibrant colors transport us back to an era where hunting was not only a sport but also an essential skill for survival. The illuminated manuscript serves as both entertainment and educational material, providing insights into the techniques employed during hunts. The hunter's arm is poised gracefully as he focuses on his target, displaying the strength and agility necessary for success in capturing prey. Meanwhile, the hare appears alert yet unaware of its impending fate, adding tension to the composition. Leonard de Selva's expert photography allows us to appreciate this historical artifact up close while preserving its authenticity. Located at Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France, this rare gem offers us a glimpse into medieval culture and traditions. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry through Leonard de Selva's lens, let us marvel at how it encapsulates centuries-old knowledge passed down through generations—a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with nature and our relentless pursuit of mastery over it.
