EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1557, immersing us in the medieval world of kings and their bailiffs. The image depicts a scene from the Tribunal of the Kings Bailiff, where justice is being served under the watchful eye of royalty. Created through a wood engraving technique after an original line engraving by Josse Damhoudere, this artwork offers a glimpse into Belgian history during the Renaissance era. The setting is Antwerp, Belgium, known for its rich cultural heritage and artistic contributions. The attention to detail in this piece transports us to a time when men adorned themselves in regal attire while carrying out their duties with utmost seriousness. Amidst this solemn atmosphere stands a dog - perhaps serving as both loyal companion and symbol of fidelity. The composition captures not only the grandeur of courtly life but also highlights societal structures that governed medieval Europe. It reminds us that even amidst royal splendor, justice was paramount and administered by trusted individuals like bailiffs. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from The Granger Collection's archives, we are transported to an era long gone yet preserved through artistry. It serves as a testament to human creativity and our eternal fascination with history's tapestry woven by countless lives lived centuries ago.
