EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite work of art known as the "Inhabited Initial Q". Created in Sens, France between 1170 and 1180, this masterpiece is a testament to the skill and creativity of medieval artisans. Using tempera colors, gold leaf, and ink on parchment, the artist has meticulously crafted a stunning initial letter "Q" that seems to come alive on the page. The intricate details and vibrant hues draw viewers into a world of beauty and imagination. Measuring at 44.3 x 29.1 cm (17 7/16 x 11 7/16 in. ), this leaf from a larger manuscript captivates with its delicate brushwork and meticulous attention to detail. The use of gold leaf adds a touch of opulence and grandeur to the artwork. The presence of figures within the initial further enhances its allure - tiny human forms inhabit this ornate letterform, bringing it to life with their graceful poses. This technique was commonly employed during this period to add narrative elements or symbolic representations within illuminated manuscripts. As part of the Liszt Collection's vast repertoire, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery but also provides insight into medieval culture and craftsmanship. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these works continue to inspire awe and admiration for their timeless beauty.
