EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 14th century, immersing us in the opulence of a beautifully furnished bedchamber. The focal point of the image is a grand bed adorned with an exquisite canopy and luxurious curtains, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship of this era. The attention to detail is remarkable, as every element tells a story. The richly textured fur pelts, possibly ermine, add an air of regality to the scene. A male figure stands beside the bed, dressed in medieval attire that reflects his high social status. His dagged clothing and poleyns (knee armor) demonstrate both fashion and functionality. The room itself exudes elegance with its ornate decor and architectural elements. This French setting transports us to a bygone era where lavishness was not spared even in one's private quarters. Paul Lacroix skillfully captures this moment from history through his wood engraving after a miniature from a manuscript held at Bibliotheque Imperiale in Paris. Published in 1870 as part of Lacroix's renowned book "The Arts of the Middle Ages and at the Period of Renaissance" this print serves as an invaluable visual record for those interested in medieval aesthetics and design. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of how art can transport us across centuries, allowing us glimpses into different cultures and times long gone by.
