EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 14th century print depicts an English Seneschal, a high-ranking official in a medieval noble household. Dressed in the elegant attire of the time, the Seneschal is shown wearing a long, flowing tunic and a pointed cap, with a fur-trimmed mantle draped over his shoulders. His feet are clad in sturdy pointed shoes, reflecting his active role in managing the daily affairs of the noble household. The Seneschal's responsibilities were vast and varied, encompassing the supervision of domestic arrangements, the management of servants, and sometimes the dispensing of justice and high military commands. He was the right hand of the noble lord, ensuring the smooth running of the household and the implementation of the lord's will. The intricately detailed print captures the Seneschal's serious and authoritative demeanor, as he goes about his duties with quiet efficiency. The use of rich colors and bold lines adds to the sense of history and authenticity, transporting us back to the medieval world of lords and vassals, of castles and courtyards. This print is a testament to the importance of the Seneschal in medieval society, and a reminder of the complex and fascinating world of the English nobility in the 14th century.
