EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Louis Malet (1441-1516), Seigneur de Graville, as he embarks on a thrilling wild boar hunt. The image is derived from the Terrier de Marcoussis, a vellum manuscript dating back to after 1493 and created by the French School in the 15th century. Measuring at an impressive 37.6x27 cm, this piece can be found at the Musee Marmottan Monet in Paris, France. In this scene, we witness Admiral de Graville passionately pursuing his prey with unwavering determination. Surrounded by his loyal hunting dogs and adorned in his family's coat of arms, Louis Malet showcases both his noble status and prowess as a huntsman. This meticulously crafted illuminated manuscript provides us with a glimpse into medieval French culture and their reverence for hunting traditions. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to this historical moment frozen in time. As we delve into this artwork further, it becomes evident that it not only celebrates the thrill of the chase but also highlights familial bonds through its inclusion of Louis Malet's two daughters. This stunning photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistic craftsmanship behind such manuscripts and gain insight into one man's passion for hunting during the Renaissance period. It serves as a testament to our shared human history while reminding us of our connection to nature and our ancestral pasts.
