In Wales, Cardiff Castle and Castle Coch were restored by wealthy industrialists and decorated lavishly in High Medieval style during the mid 19c.

These images are dated XVI century, included in the "Livre de Chasse" de Gaston Phoebus (Biblioteque Nationale de Paris).
It happens that, Gaston Phoebus, Count of Foix, a great hunter and author of the work, lived in the XIV century, two centuries prior to the date attributed to the images. To crack the riddle, one has to learn that these images illustrated a later XVI century edition... as i aldo have them illustrating this book i have "Eight Centuries of Hunting in Portugal" (Miguel Sanches de Baźna - 1998).
Mind you, i am not a hunter ... just happen to have been offered the book.

Impressive example of the medieval revival in art, and the neo-Gothic architecture which wdrere iconic elements of 19th cent. Romanticist taste (the movement that's responsible for all those "Victorian copies" we encounter in the arms and armor marketplace today). The painting is interesting because it faithfully depicts medieval costume and architecture, but in a picture composed according to the standards of proportion, posture, and perspective that 19th cent. artists were trained in.

Lovely example of the style.

Foxbat, did the boar sword arrive? Was it as you expected it would be?
