EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases a collection of exquisite miniatures from medieval manuscripts housed in the Royal Library of Belgium, Brussels. Created by the French School in the 19th century, these intricate illustrations were featured in Paul Lacroix and Ferdinand Sere's renowned publication "Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance" (Paris, 1848-51). The print captures the essence of this historical era with its vibrant colors and ornate decorations. The image transports us back to a time when knights roamed Europe, carrying important messages sealed within their mail. A knight is depicted holding a letter, symbolizing the significance of communication during that period. The concept of post and air mail is subtly hinted at, reminding us that even centuries ago, people sought efficient ways to exchange information across distances. The presence of crowns throughout the artwork alludes to monarchy and royalty prevalent during medieval times. These sovereigns held power over vast territories as depicted on an accompanying map of Europe. This fusion between art and history allows viewers to delve into a world where literature thrived alongside illuminated manuscripts. The print serves as a visual testament to the rich cultural heritage preserved within these medieval manuscripts. It offers glimpses into an era characterized by chivalry, literature, and royal grandeur—a true treasure trove for enthusiasts fascinated by European history or those seeking inspiration from past artistic masterpieces.
