In the years 1387-1389, Gaston III, count of Foix and Báarn in the south of France, also known as Phoebus, after the Greek sun god, wrote his Livre de Chasse, or The Hunting Book. This work is the most famous record of medieval hunting and a fascinating piece of cultural history, moreover it was used as a natural history text book well into the 19th century. Its 128 folios contain extraordinary miniatures. Their bright and fresh colours on the sumptuous, gold grounds present sensitive and subtle painting techniques. The generous layout of the paintings in The Hunting Book and their particular effect of depth are reminiscent of exquisite tapestries.
