Joyous dance scenes are shown along with the common walk through the woods, the lovers in conversation or in an intimate embrace. One image depicts the adored woman showing herself to her lover with loose hair; the sensuality of this gesture moves us even today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Twelve ornamental pages<\/strong> richly embellished with decoration and symbols complete and explain the picture cycle. The most uncommon feature of this manuscript, however, is the fact that <strong>the artists strictly avoided the use of text<\/strong> \u2013 except for two sentences in the marginal borders and an enigmatic letter sequence in the book.<\/p>\n<p>All scenes fascinatingly describe the behaviour of lovers and their attention for each other, against the <strong>background of the courts of Western Christianity<\/strong>, leading us into the pre-modern world through symbols and allegories that establish a dialogue with the viewer. The painter intentionally chooses colour to convey a specific message and appoints plants and animals as representatives of certain qualities and persons, while seemingly trivial objects are used to disclose special meanings. The <strong>vivid pictorial vocabulary<\/strong> eludes any obvious interpretation and leaves abundant space for the imagination. The artist of this picture sequence must have perfectly known how to express the loving intimacy a couple feels for one another. The elements of drawing remain in the narrative\u2019s foreground, while the architectural perspective and careful modelling of the figures provide the background. This is the secret of the illustrations that radiate a serene elegance that superbly fits the depicted narrative.<\/p>\n<p>It has so far been impossible to assign the manuscript to a precise illuminator; its <strong>provenance from France<\/strong>, more precisely from the environment of the <strong>Brosse family<\/strong>, has however been secured. The Book of Lovers, ms. 388 of the Mus\u00e9e Cond\u00e9 in Chantilly, is a touching <strong>gem of the late era of French book painting,<\/strong> which in a marvellous way and without words \u2013 but nonetheless with great eloquence \u2013 recounts the <strong>tale of two lovers<\/strong> while also providing a unique insight into the feelings and <strong>courtly life of the time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment-->[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em><i><b>Histoire d&#8217;amour sans paroles &#8211;\u00a0<\/b><\/i>The moving story of love without words<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Faithful facsimile edition of the manuscript ms. 388 in the Mus\u00e9e Cond\u00e9, Chantilly, produced at the beginning of the 16th century in France.<\/p>\n<p>30 pages.
