EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a feast meal scene from the 15th century, where opulence and grandeur were on full display. The centerpiece of the table is a magnificent peacock, served as an extravagant delicacy to delight the royal court. Taken from "La Vraye Histoire du Bon Roy Alixandre" by Callisthenes, this miniature painting showcases the artistic mastery of an unknown artist. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable; every element, from the exquisite crockery to the elaborate costumes worn by courtiers, transports us back to a time of indulgence and splendor. The illuminated manuscript beautifully depicts not only the sumptuousness of medieval feasts but also provides insight into their gastronomic culture. As we gaze at this image, we can imagine ourselves in that lavish hall adorned with tapestries and surrounded by ornate furniture. Through the window, we catch glimpses of another world outside - perhaps hinting at both confinement within societal norms and escape through festivities. This print serves as a reminder of how food has always played a central role in human celebrations throughout history. It invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic presentation but also its significance as a symbol of power and abundance during those times. Thanks to Fine Art Finder for preserving such historical treasures like this one captured by © Photo Josse!
