EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of joy and celebration in the French countryside during the 15th century. Titled "Champetre dance The announcement to the shepherds" this miniature is taken from the renowned "Book of Hours" by Charles d'Angouleme, created between 1460 and 1496. In this enchanting scene, we witness a group of shepherds engaged in a lively dance amidst a picturesque landscape. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life their exuberant movements as they revel in music and merriment. A couple at the center leads the festivities, accompanied by musicians playing traditional instruments like bagpipes. The artist, Testard Tap, known for his skillful illuminations, beautifully depicts not only human figures but also animals that add an element of charm to the composition. Sheep graze peacefully nearby while taking part in this rustic celebration. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork offers us glimpses into rural life during medieval times. It provides insight into leisure activities enjoyed by peasants and their connection with nature. In the distance, we catch sight of a cityscape—a reminder of both proximity and separation from urban centers. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to France's rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris since its creation around 1480, it continues to inspire awe with its timeless beauty.
