EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from the medieval era, featuring "Ms 62 f. 215r St. Eligius making a Shrine; St. Eligius at an Anvil" from a Book of Hours. Created by the talented Master of the Rohan Hours around 1445-50, this vellum masterpiece is now housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge. The image depicts St. Eligius, known as the patron saint of smiths and metal-workers, engrossed in his sacred craft. With unwavering focus and skillful precision, he diligently forges a shrine while standing beside an anvil. This portrayal beautifully captures both his religious devotion and exceptional craftsmanship. The intricate details within this illustration transport us back to a time when blacksmithing was not only considered a profession but also held deep spiritual significance within ecclesiastical circles. The gothic border surrounding St. Eligius further enhances its medieval charm. As we admire this illuminated manuscript page, we are reminded of the invaluable role that artisans played during that era - their ability to transform raw materials into exquisite works of art with nothing more than hammers, tongs, and sheer talent. Through this photograph print by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate not only the historical importance but also the artistic mastery exhibited by both the anonymous scribe who created it and Master of Rohan Hours himself – truly capturing a moment frozen in time for all to behold with awe and admiration.
