EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases folios from the Rothschild Book of Hours, believed to be created in either Ghent or Bruges around 1505. The exquisite craftsmanship of the Flemish School is evident in every detail of this religious manuscript, which measures 22.8x16 cm per folio. The scene depicted within these pages transports us back to a medieval Christmas celebration in Bethlehem. Vibrant and colourful, the image features peasants joyfully dancing alongside a manger where Mary and Joseph await the birth of Jesus Christ. A donkey stands nearby, adding to the lively atmosphere. Intricate calligraphy adorns each page, complementing the ornate illustrations that depict angels singing above Bethlehem's streets. Shepherds tend their flock while bagpipes play a merry tune in the background. The town innkeeper looks on as townspeople gather to witness this momentous occasion. The decorative elements throughout this illuminated manuscript are truly breathtaking - from gothic architectural details to elaborate street scenes filled with sheep and bustling activity. The Virgin Mary radiates brightness as she prepares for motherhood, surrounded by an aura of divine presence. As we delve into each carefully crafted page, we are reminded of the Northern Renaissance period's artistic brilliance and devotion to religious themes. This print captures not only historical significance but also serves as a testament to human creativity and spirituality across centuries.
