EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from a miniature Book of Hours, originating from Bruges in the early 16th century. Created by the talented Flemish artist Simon Bening, this exquisite piece measures just 5.9x4.2 cm and is now held in a private collection. The image depicts a picturesque landscape teeming with life as autumn sets in. In the foreground, we witness an exhilarating hunt scene unfold before our eyes. A majestic stag gracefully dashes through the woods while being pursued by eager hunting dogs and their skilled huntsman blowing his horn to signal the chase. Amidst this lively spectacle, delicate calligraphy adorns the page, depicting scenes from the New Testament and illustrating various aspects of rural life during that era. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this miniature masterpiece to life. Bening's exceptional talent shines through as he expertly captures both nature's beauty and human activities within one small frame. This work exemplifies the Northern Renaissance style prevalent during that time period. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to Bruges in 1530-35, immersing ourselves in its rich cultural heritage and appreciating Bening's contribution to illuminated manuscripts.
