EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Ms 17 Esther" from the renowned collection Vie des Femmes Celebres, dating back to around 1505. Created on vellum by an anonymous French School artist of the 16th century, this masterpiece is housed in the Musee Thomas Dobree in Nantes, France. The image depicts a scene set within a regal throne room, where numerous servants are seen kneeling before Ms 17 Esther. Her face reflects concern and worry as she sits upon her ornate seat. The composition exudes an aura of medieval elegance with its intricate details and Gothic influences. The subject of this artwork is none other than Assuerus (486-465 BC), the king of Persia. He stands beside his queen, Esther, who happens to be Jewish. This historical context adds depth to the narrative portrayed within this manuscript. Antoine Du Four skillfully captures the courtly atmosphere through his artistic style and attention to detail. Every element in this piece contributes to conveying a sense of power dynamics between husband and wife, royalty and subjects. As we gaze at this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in history unfold before our eyes - a testament to both human emotions and cultural diversity that transcends centuries past.
