EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 14th century showcases a remarkable scene of entertainment and skill. In this detailed illumination by Jehan de Grise, we are transported to a medieval world where a man proudly presents his trained horse and ape. The image is taken from the Romance of Alexander, a renowned manuscript dating back to c1340. The horse stands tall and elegant, adorned with an intricately designed shield on its side. Its trainer holds a stick in one hand, demonstrating his mastery over the magnificent creature. Beside them, an ape adds an element of surprise and amusement to the performance. This image offers us a glimpse into the recreational activities enjoyed during that era. It speaks volumes about the creativity and ingenuity of people in finding ways to entertain themselves amidst their daily lives. The Flemish influence is evident in both the style and attention to detail displayed in this artwork. Every stroke of color brings life to this historical moment, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the rich cultural heritage it represents. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but marvel at how centuries-old traditions continue to captivate our imagination today. This piece serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with recreation throughout history – providing joyous moments for both creators and spectators alike.
