EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fol 1v The Month of January: Rich Lord at the Table, from Breviarium Grimani" transports us back to the Renaissance era. Painted on vellum by an anonymous Italian artist in the 16th century, this image is part of the renowned Grimani Breviary housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, Italy. The scene depicts a lavish banquet set for a wealthy lord during the month of January. The opulent table is adorned with sumptuous dishes and fine silverware, while servants stand attentively nearby. A distinguished-looking lord sits at the head of the table, holding a walking stick or cane as a symbol of his status and authority. Every detail in this artwork showcases the grandeur and sophistication of feudal society during that time. It offers us a glimpse into their extravagant lifestyle and elaborate feasts that were common among nobility. The intricate illumination work done by artists such as Gerard Horenbout, Alexander Bening, and Simon Bening adds depth and vibrancy to this masterpiece. Their talent brings life to each character portrayed within this manuscript page. As we admire this stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical significance as it captures an important period in European history - where power was displayed through banquets fit for kings and lords ruled over vast domains.
