EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oil on canvas print depicts a central detail from the hunting scene in the gardens of Chateau de Hesdin, in 1431, during the reign of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy. The French School painting, now housed in the National Museum of Versailles, showcases a vibrant and colorful scene of courtiers engaging in the pastime of hunting. The Duke himself is not present in this particular detail, but the masculine energy of the male courtiers is palpable as they focus intently on their quarry. Children, too, are present in the scene, adding an element of childhood innocence and joy to the otherwise serious activity. A boy in a red tunic and a girl in a blue dress can be seen in the foreground, their eyes wide with wonder and excitement as they watch the adults around them. The women, dressed in elegant gowns and veils, add a touch of femininity and grace to the scene. The painting captures the essence of courtly life during the 15th century, with its love of nature, hunting, and the companionship of friends and family. The lush greenery and sunlight filtering through the trees create a serene and idyllic atmosphere, transporting us back in time to the gardens of Chateau de Hesdin. The scene is set in daylight, with the sunlight casting a warm glow over the figures and the landscape, adding to the sense of tranquility and beauty. Overall, this painting is a stunning representation of the love, court, and hunting culture that flourished at the court of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy.
