EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene of hunting with a wild boar from the 14th century. The image is taken from the "Book of Hunting" by Gaston Phoebus, Count of Foix and Lord of Bearn, showcasing his passion for the sport during medieval times. In this illuminated manuscript, we see an exhilarating hunt unfolding before our eyes. A group of skilled hunters on horseback can be seen chasing after a fierce wild boar through dense woodland. The intensity in their expressions and the determination in their stance reveal their unwavering commitment to capturing this formidable prey. The composition beautifully showcases the artistry and skill involved in creating such intricate miniatures during that era. Every detail, from the horses' muscular forms to the hunters' armor and lances, is meticulously depicted. This image transports us back to a time when hunting was not only a means for survival but also an exciting pastime enjoyed by nobles like Gaston Phoebus. It offers us a glimpse into medieval life, where man's relationship with nature was intertwined with adventure and adrenaline. Thanks to Leonard de Selva's expert photography skills, this historical artwork comes alive once again. As we admire this remarkable piece captured at Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its ability to transport us back centuries ago when hunting was more than just a game - it was an integral part of life itself.
