Description
I recently discovered the illustrations of medieval animal lore and have been working to recreate them. The images are stirring on an unexpected level. Although created over 800 years ago, they reflect a deep fascination with and desire to understand animals. The characteristics of animals were said to serve as examples of proper conduct for humans, imbuing the "beasts" with a distinctly spiritual and even mystical quality. Bestiary images could be found everywhere - from manuscripts to wooden furniture and almost always had a moral message - one we can still learn from today.
