EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning detail from a wedding chest, painted on vellum and mounted on wood. Created by the French School in the 12th century, this exquisite piece of art can be found at Vannes Cathedral in France. The intricate scene depicted captures two figures standing beside a beautifully adorned tent. The male figure is dressed in medieval attire, exuding an air of nobility and strength. Meanwhile, the female figure stands gracefully next to him, radiating elegance and beauty. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings life to their garments and expressions. This artwork reflects the significance of marriage during that era, symbolizing unity and commitment through its portrayal of these two figures. Notably, there is also a falconer present in this composition—a reminder of the medieval fascination with hunting birds such as falcons. This inclusion adds another layer of depth to the narrative being told within this small section of the wedding chest. As we admire this extraordinary coffret de mariage (marriage box), we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever within its delicate confines. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this historical treasure for all art enthusiasts to appreciate and cherish for years to come.
