EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the MS Marlay Add 1 f. 86, an illuminated manuscript dating back to the 13th century. The page features a stunning depiction of a sea battle, adorned with intricate illuminations that bring the scene to life. Measuring at 19.5x14.5 cm, this historical artifact is housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge. The artwork originates from De Re Militari, a renowned military treatise written by Vegetius in the 4th century AD and translated into Anglo-Norman French during medieval times. It offers us a glimpse into naval warfare during this era and highlights various elements such as soldiers clad in armor, grappling irons being used for boarding enemy vessels, boats and sailing ships engaged in combat, and troops armed with crossbows. With its rich history and artistic brilliance, this image transports viewers back in time to witness the intensity of medieval naval battles firsthand. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity in warfare and the skillful craftsmanship of illuminated manuscripts. Displayed here courtesy of Bridgeman Images on behalf of Fine Art Finder, this print captures not only an extraordinary piece of art but also provides valuable insights into military tactics employed centuries ago – truly an invaluable addition to any collection or exhibition dedicated to medieval history or fine art appreciation.
