EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Gathering Twigs" we are transported back in time to the Flemish city of Bruges, Belgium, around 1550. Created by the talented artist Simon Bening, who was active from about 1483 to 1561, this exquisite piece showcases his mastery of tempera colors and gold paint on parchment. The scene depicted is both charming and idyllic. A group of figures can be seen diligently gathering twigs in a lush woodland setting. The attention to detail is remarkable; each figure is meticulously rendered with delicate brushstrokes that bring them to life. The vibrant colors used by Bening add depth and richness to the composition. Measuring just 5.6 x 9.6 cm (2 3/16 x 3 ¾ in. ), this small leaf holds immense beauty within its compact size. It serves as a testament to Bening's skill as an illuminator during the Renaissance period. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also provides a glimpse into daily life during this era. It reminds us of the importance placed on nature and resourcefulness in communities such as Bruges. Whether displayed alone or as part of a larger collection, "Gathering Twigs" invites viewers to immerse themselves in its intricate details and transports them back centuries ago when craftsmanship reigned supreme.
