EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Ms 89 fol. 88 The Triumph of Death" from a Book of Hours, created by the French School in the 15th century. Housed in the Bibliotheque Municipale in Moulins, France, this vellum manuscript offers a glimpse into medieval artistry and symbolism. The image depicts a scene filled with eerie yet mesmerizing elements. A triumphant beast, accompanied by a dragon and lion riders, presides over an array of corpses strewn across the landscape. The grim reaper himself is portrayed as a skeletal figure wielding a scythe while riding on horseback. Illuminated with intricate details and vibrant colors, this gothic masterpiece captures both the imagination and fear associated with death's triumph over life. Each stroke of the artist's brush brings to life monstrous creatures and fictional characters that seem to emerge from another world. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to an era where mythical beings roamed freely alongside farm animals and wildlife. It is through these juxtapositions that we witness the artist's ability to create wonderful yet haunting characters within their illuminated pages. This print serves as a reminder of our mortality while simultaneously celebrating the artistic brilliance found within medieval manuscripts. Its presence invites us to explore deeper into history's mysteries and contemplate our own existence in relation to these fantastical realms captured on vellum centuries ago.
