EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Maitre Jean Froissart, a renowned French chronicler from the 14th century. The image originates from The Recueil d'Arras, an esteemed collection of historical manuscripts. Created by the Flemish School in the 16th century, this red chalk on paper drawing captures the essence of Froissart's character. Intriguingly, Maitre Jean Froissart was not only an author and writer but also a witness to one of history's most significant conflicts - the Hundred Years War. His Chronicles provide invaluable insights into this tumultuous period in both England and France. The portrait depicts Froissart with great attention to detail, showcasing his distinctive hat and capturing his bust-like appearance. This sketch is believed to have been part of a study conducted by Flemish artists who sought to immortalize notable individuals through their artistry. Housed within Bibliotheque Municipale in Arras, France, this historic piece has stood the test of time as it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure. With its rich historical context and artistic finesse, this photograph serves as a testament to Maitre Jean Froissart's enduring legacy as well as the talent exhibited by Flemish artists during that era.
