EDITORS COMMENTS
The Franklin, detail from The Canterbury Tales, by Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1342-1400) Ellesmere Manuscript, facsimile edition, 1911 captures the essence of a landowner of free but not noble birth. This exquisite print showcases the intricate details and craftsmanship of the English School in the 15th century. The image portrays a rider on horseback, embodying the spirit of freedom and love that Chaucer beautifully encapsulates in his tales. As stated in one of his verses: 'Love will not be constrained by mastery; When mastery comes, the god of love anon Beats his fair wings, and farewell! He is gone! Love is a thing as any spirit free. ' The horse's majestic presence symbolizes power and nobility while also representing wildlife and farm animals that were integral to medieval life. The composition transports us back to an era where horses were essential companions for travel and work. This print serves as a testament to Chaucer's enduring legacy as one of England's greatest poets. It reminds us that love knows no boundaries or social constraints – it is an ethereal force that transcends all limitations. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. It allows us to connect with centuries past while reminding us that some things remain timeless.
