EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the Breviarium Grimani, a remarkable illuminated manuscript created in the early 16th century. The image, titled "Fol. 8v Month of August: Leaving for the Hunt" transports us to a world of medieval splendor and adventure. In this enchanting composition, we witness hunters preparing for an exhilarating hunt. A group of noble men on horseback don their hunting attire while holding lances and spears, ready to pursue their prey. Accompanying them are majestic hounds eagerly awaiting the chase. A falcon perches gracefully on one hunter's arm, symbolizing both power and control. The setting is equally awe-inspiring as it features a magnificent castle in the background, hinting at aristocratic opulence and grandeur. The attention to detail is astounding; every element meticulously painted on vellum by talented Flemish artists such as Gerard Horenbout and Alexander Bening. This stunning artwork not only captures the essence of medieval life but also serves as a testament to the craftsmanship of its creators. Preserved within the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, Italy, this piece offers us a glimpse into Cardinal Domenico Grimani's esteemed collection. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we can't help but be transported back in time - imagining ourselves amidst these gallant huntsmen embarking on an unforgettable adventure through lush landscapes filled with excitement and anticipation
