EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from the 12th century, depicting knights on horseback accompanied by a majestic king with his falcon. The image is a close-up detail of scenes adorning a wooden marriage chest known as the Treasure of Vannes, originating from Brittany. The vivid colors and intricate details bring to life the medieval era, highlighting elements such as armor, chain mail, shields, and falconry. This snapshot captures not only the artistry but also the essence of French history during this period. The central figure in this composition is undoubtedly the king himself, holding his prized falcon with regal poise. His presence exudes power and authority while showcasing an occupation that was highly esteemed during those times – that of a falconer. Surrounding him are valiant knights astride their noble steeds, ready for battle or perhaps engaged in some royal procession. The horses' strength and grace are evident as they stand tall beside their armored riders. This print offers us a glimpse into an age characterized by chivalry, warfare, and royal splendor. It transports us back to an era where monarchs ruled with might and majesty while skilled individuals pursued various professions within their kingdom. As we admire this piece of art media today, we can appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance – reminding us of our rich cultural heritage passed down through generations.
