EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Old Man of the Mountain giving orders to his followers" we are transported back in time to witness a medieval scene filled with wisdom and consultation. The image, copied by Albert Coinchon from the original manuscript, showcases the intricate litho work done by French School artists in the 14th century. Set in a serene garden, surrounded by lush greenery and blooming flowers, we see a group of individuals gathered around an old sage-like figure. The wise man, known as The Old Man of the Mountain, is depicted commanding attention as he imparts his knowledge and gives orders to his devoted followers. The composition exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as we observe each person's unique expression - some appear contemplative while others seem eager to carry out their assigned tasks. It is evident that this gathering holds great importance; perhaps it marks the beginning of an important journey or a crucial decision-making process. As our eyes wander through every detail captured in this engraving, one cannot help but be drawn into its narrative. We are left wondering about the stories behind these characters and what awaits them beyond this tranquil garden setting. "The Old Man of the Mountain giving orders to his followers" serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a glimpse into medieval life where consultations with wise sages held immense value. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection invites us to reflect on ancient traditions while appreciating timeless craftsmanship.
