EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Miller" from Geoffrey Chaucer's renowned literary work, The Canterbury Tales. Painted by Henry Stacey Marks in 1878, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 200x175.2 cm and is held in a private collection. In this vivid portrayal, the jovial character of the Miller comes to life as he embarks on his medieval pilgrimage. Mounted on horseback with a walking stick in hand, the Miller exudes a sense of confidence and mischief. His traditional costume reflects the fashion of the 14th century, complete with a distinctive hat and bagpipes slung across his shoulder. With his dog faithfully trotting alongside him, it is evident that this pilgrim enjoys both the company of animals and revelry alike. The playful depiction captures him playing his beloved pipes while riding through lush landscapes. Marks' attention to detail brings out every nuance of this memorable character - from his rosy cheeks to the mischievous twinkle in his eye. The painting not only celebrates Chaucer's iconic creation but also provides us with a glimpse into medieval life and customs. As we admire this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness one man's spirited journey filled with merriment and adventure. It serves as a testament to how art can immortalize literature and bring its characters alive for generations to come.
