EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Greek manuscript from the 13th century titled "Game: the animals you can hunt - in 'De Venatione' by Oppianus". The intricate artwork, preserved in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, Italy, depicts a fascinating array of animals that were hunted during medieval times. In this masterpiece of illumination, we are transported back to an era where hunting was not only a means of survival but also a popular form of entertainment. The skilled artist has meticulously illustrated various creatures including wolves, lions, bears, hyenas, and even an elephant. Each animal is portrayed with remarkable detail and lifelike accuracy. The composition exudes energy and excitement as hunters engage in their pursuit. A sense of anticipation fills the air as they navigate through dense forests and open plains to capture their prey. This snapshot into medieval society offers us a glimpse into their relationship with nature and wildlife. As we admire this ancient manuscript print by Giancarlo Costa, we are reminded of the rich history that lies within these pages. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and artistic prowess while shedding light on our ancestors' way of life.
