EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable border of a backgammon board from the 15th century. Carved out of ivory, this intricate piece of art depicts a heartwarming scene of courtship and love. The French School's craftsmanship is evident in the delicate details that bring this scene to life. In the foreground, we see a pair of lovers engaged in an enchanting dance, surrounded by beautifully carved trees and a charming fence. The musicians nearby serenade them with their instruments, creating an atmosphere filled with melody and romance. It is as if time stands still within this exquisite carving. The Burgundian influence can be observed through the presence of falconry, symbolizing nobility and elegance. A falcon perches gracefully on one side while a lyre rests on the other, representing harmony between nature and music. This artwork not only serves as an ornate decoration for backgammon enthusiasts but also tells a story about love and companionship during medieval times. Its historical significance is further emphasized by its display at Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, Tuscany. As we admire this extraordinary piece captured by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate the skillful craftsmanship that has preserved such beauty throughout centuries.
