EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of both chaos and heroism from the past. Titled "Fr 2646 f. 176 Bal des Ardents, Charles being saved by the Duchess of Berry after Louis of Orleans set fire to the dancers' costumes" this image takes us back to the year 1392. From Froissart's Chronicle, this scene unfolds during a medieval ball where tragedy strikes as Louis of Orleans ignites the dancers' attire. Amidst panic and danger, our attention is drawn to a remarkable act of bravery - the Duchess of Berry rescuing Charles from certain harm. The vibrant colors and intricate details on this vellum manuscript transport us into an era long gone but forever etched in history. The green man and wild man dances add an element of mystique and folklore to this already dramatic event. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this artwork showcases not only artistic skill but also serves as a testament to human resilience in times of crisis. It reminds us that even amidst chaos, there are individuals who rise above fear for the sake of others. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece captured by Bridgeman Images, let it serve as a reminder that acts of courage can shine through even in moments when darkness threatens to engulf all around us.
