EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable medieval artwork titled "Ms 62 f. 215r St. Eligius making a Shrine; St. Eligius at an Anvil, from a Book of Hours". Created by the Master of the Rohan Hours around 1445-50, this vellum masterpiece measures 24.5x17.8 cm and is housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge, UK. The image depicts St. Eligius, patron saint of smiths and metal-workers, engrossed in his craft within an ecclesiastical setting. With intense focus and precision, he skillfully forges a shrine while standing beside an anvil adorned with various tools of his trade. The scene beautifully captures the essence of his profession as a blacksmith and goldsmith. Illustrated with meticulous detail and vibrant colors, this manuscript transports us to a bygone era where craftsmanship was revered as both artistry and devotion. The gothic border surrounding the central illustration adds to its aesthetic appeal. Stunningly illuminated, this artwork not only serves religious purposes but also celebrates the importance of skilled labor in medieval society. It pays homage to St. Eligius' role as an evangelizer for Flanders while showcasing his exceptional talent as a craftsman. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are granted access to admire and appreciate this extraordinary piece that seamlessly combines faith, craftsmanship, and artistic expression into one harmonious composition
