EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bustling market scene and the momentous presentation of a book to Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy. Created by David Aubert around 1459, this illuminated manuscript from the Collection of Bibliotheque royale de Belgique is a true masterpiece of early Netherlandish art. In this vibrant depiction, we are transported back in time to Flanders during the Middle Ages. The market square comes alive with merchants selling their wares and townsfolk going about their daily lives. The intricate details and vivid colors bring an air of authenticity to this medieval setting. At the center of attention stands Philip III himself, known as Philip the Good, surrounded by his courtiers. He receives a beautifully adorned book from Jean Tavernier while being observed by an intrigued crowd. This significant event symbolizes knowledge and culture being bestowed upon one of Europe's most influential rulers. The craftsmanship displayed in this illuminated manuscript is truly remarkable. Gouache on parchment brings each figure to life with delicate brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail. Every element within this artwork tells a story - from the architecture that reflects Flanders' rich history to the attire worn by individuals representing different social classes. Through this photo print, we can appreciate not only Aubert's artistic talent but also gain insight into medieval society and its fascination with literature and learning. It serves as a testament to our shared cultural heritage, reminding us of how art has always played an essential role in documenting historical events for future generations
