EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the 15th century as Gaston Phoebus, the renowned Count of Foix, imparts his wisdom on the art of venery. This 19th-century rendition beautifully captures an original manuscript illustration found in Phoebus and his Staff for Hunting Wild Animals and Birds of Prey. The scene depicts a hunting party gathered around Gaston Phoebus, eagerly absorbing his teachings. With a commanding presence, he stands tall with his staff in hand, exuding authority and knowledge. His audience consists of men from various walks of life; their attentive gazes reflect their eagerness to learn from this esteemed master. A faithful hunting dog stands loyally by Gaston's side, symbolizing the integral role these animals played in medieval hunting practices. The engraving skillfully portrays the intricate details of each figure's attire - a testament to the artist's craftsmanship. This monochrome masterpiece transports us into a world where education was highly valued and passed down through generations. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people sought guidance and expertise to refine their skills. As we gaze upon this print from Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance by Paul Lacroix, Ferdinand Sere, and A Rivaud (Volume I), we are reminded of our rich cultural heritage preserved within historical manuscripts like those held at Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris.
