EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bustling medieval market in all its glory. Titled "Selling Pigs at the Market" this illuminated calendar page for November takes us back to the 16th century Flemish School era. The scene is alive with activity as herdsman and buyers engage in lively negotiations over prized swine. The attention to detail on this vellum artwork is truly remarkable, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of the artist from centuries ago. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns bring life to each character, making it feel like we are stepping into a time machine. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear the sounds of pigs squealing, merchants haggling, and laughter filling the air. It's a snapshot frozen in time that transports us back to an era where commerce was conducted face-to-face, where human connection played an integral role in every transaction. Displayed proudly at Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge in the UK, this piece serves as a testament to our rich history and cultural heritage. It reminds us that even though times have changed drastically since then, some things remain constant – our desire for sustenance and our ability to come together as communities. Bridgeman Images has done justice by preserving this invaluable work of art through their fine art printing services. This print allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance.
