EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Book of Hours" created by the French School in the 15th century. Measuring at 17.9x13 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA. The intricate details of this artwork are brought to life through tempera, gold and silver paint, as well as gold leaf on parchment. The painting attributed to the Master of the Harvard Hannibal depicts a scene from St Matthew's Gospel Chapter 27 where righteous souls arise from their graves. This religious theme evokes notions of Christian faith and superstition surrounding resurrection and eternal life. Within its ornate borders, one can observe elements such as crosses, miracles, burial rites, shrouds, and heavenly saints that symbolize various aspects of death and spirituality prevalent during medieval times. The illuminated manuscript beautifully captures both the solemnity and hope associated with mortality. The delicate brushstrokes reveal a deep understanding of Renaissance art techniques while also showcasing France's rich artistic heritage during this period. Each page within this book serves as a window into an era when religion played a central role in people's lives. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back to a time when devotion was expressed through exquisitely decorated manuscripts like these – testaments to both religious fervor and artistic skill.
