EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the renowned Devonshire Hunting Tapestries, which date back to the 15th century. Created in Tournai and currently housed in the prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum, these tapestries are true masterpieces of artistry and craftsmanship. In this particular section of the tapestry, we are transported to a scene filled with vibrant colors and intricate details. The focus is on a hunting expedition where men and women engage in an exhilarating chase after deer. A skilled musician accompanies them, his hornblower resonating through the air as they navigate their way through lush landscapes. The image captures not only the excitement of the hunt but also provides glimpses into various aspects of life during that era. From tents serving as temporary shelters to a majestic royal yacht gliding gracefully across waterways, every element tells its own story. One cannot help but admire how this artwork beautifully portrays both male and female figures actively participating in this grand adventure. It serves as a reminder that hunting was not solely reserved for men; women too played significant roles in such pursuits. As we delve into this remarkable piece of history captured by Mike Dixon's lens, we find ourselves immersed in an enchanting world where art meets nature, music fills the air, and people come together to celebrate their shared passion for hunting.
