EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning historiated initial E, meticulously crafted on vellum by the Master of San Michele of Murano in the early 15th century. Housed at the Musee Marmottan Monet in Paris, France, this Italian masterpiece depicts St. Stephen with remarkable detail and artistry. The intricate illumination captures the essence of St. Stephen's story, showcasing his martyrdom through lapidation (stoning). The vibrant colors and delicate brushwork bring to life every aspect of this Renaissance-era artwork. The letter E is adorned with a haloed St. Stephen standing amidst a stone-filled landscape, symbolizing his unwavering faith even in the face of persecution. This miniature marvel not only serves as an artistic testament but also offers insight into religious devotion during that era. Formerly part of Wildenstein's collection number 26, this historic manuscript has now found its rightful place among other revered works at Musee Marmottan Monet. Its presence evokes awe and admiration for both art enthusiasts and historians alike. As we gaze upon this illuminated treasure captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness the skillful craftsmanship and profound storytelling that defined medieval manuscripts. Let us cherish this glimpse into our rich cultural heritage while honoring those who dedicated their lives to preserving such invaluable works of art.
