EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating banquet scene from the Limbourg brothers' masterpiece, "Fascimile of January". The original artwork can be found in the Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, and this particular print is housed at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Transporting us back to 15th century France, this image immerses us in a world of medieval opulence and daily life. The tapestry-adorned interior sets the stage for an extravagant feast, where nobility indulges in sumptuous food and drink. Illuminated by Apollo's sun rays, the scene captures both the grandeur and moral undertones of French society during that era. The calendar motif prominently features Capricorn and Aquarius, representing different aspects of time and nature. A terrier scurries around amidst servers attending to every need of their noble guests. This miniature art form beautifully depicts wealth and domesticity intertwined within one frame. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of its artistic brilliance but also its historical significance. It serves as a window into a bygone era when lavish banquets were symbols of power and prestige. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we have the privilege to appreciate the intricate details that make up this extraordinary work of art from centuries past.
