EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illuminated manuscript known as "Livre d'or" dating back to the year 1500. Crafted on vellum by the talented Germain Hardouin, this masterpiece is housed in the Biblioteca Capitolare in Verona, Italy. The focal point of this artwork depicts a humble king kneeling in prayer, his crown symbolizing his royal status and authority. Behind the king stands a graceful female figure who delicately touches his head, possibly representing an allegory of the Church or Wisdom. This imagery suggests that even kings are not exempt from seeking guidance and intercession from higher powers. Above them all, in the celestial sky, lies a representation of the Virgin Mary with Infant Jesus - an ethereal presence watching over their prayers. The composition exudes elements of courtly life during the Renaissance era; courtiers surround the king while he engages in fervent prayer. The intricate details and vibrant colors used by Hardouin bring this historical moment to life on vellum. As we gaze upon this remarkable print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness both religious devotion and regal power intertwine harmoniously within one exquisite piece of art. It serves as a reminder that even those with earthly authority seek solace through faith and divine intervention.
