1210 13th Auguste Festival Fete Philippe Reign Stalls Shows
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the lively spirit of a C13 French Fête, a public festival held during the reign of Philippe II Auguste in circa 1210. The scene is filled with the sights, sounds, and energy of the festivities, as people from all walks of life come together to celebrate. In the foreground, a group of revelers dance exuberantly, their faces alight with joy and merriment. The men wear tunics and surcoats, some with swords at their sides, while the women don flowing gowns and headdresses. They move in a circle, clapping hands and stomping feet to the rhythm of a lute or hurdy-gurdy playing in the background. Surrounding the dancers are a variety of stalls and booths, offering food, drink, and entertainment. A baker displays fresh loaves of bread, while a butcher slices meat on a block. A vendor sells colorful textiles, and another offers games of chance. A troupe of jugglers and acrobats perform tricks and feats, drawing crowds of onlookers. In the background, people drink from tankards and flagons, their faces flushed with wine and merriment. The sun sets behind the scene, casting a warm glow over the festivities. The C13 French Fête was a time for social connection, community, and celebration, and this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past.
