EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 14th century, immersing us in the world of medieval cooks. The image showcases a scene of culinary mastery as two skilled cooks diligently baste birds roasting over an open fire. Every detail is meticulously captured, from the flickering flames to the tantalizing aroma wafting through the air. The illumination, created by Jehan de Grise for the Romance of Alexander in 1340, exemplifies Flemish artistry at its finest. It transports us to a time when cooking was not just a necessity but also an art form. These men are not mere workers; they are craftsmen who take pride in their skills and dedication. In this snapshot of history, we witness one cook attentively turning a spit while another carefully wields a spoon for basting. Their actions reveal their expertise and commitment to ensuring that every bird is cooked to perfection. The text accompanying this image reminds us that it belongs to the Carousel Collection and should not be used commercially without permission. However, beyond any commercial considerations lies an appreciation for the rich tapestry of human history depicted within this single frame - where centuries-old traditions meet timeless craftsmanship in pursuit of culinary excellence.
