EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 15th century. Titled "Ms 323. Ovid, Metamorphoses, f. 1r" this illuminated initial [I] is adorned with intricate acanthus motifs that extend into a full border of penwork stems and painted flower finials. Created on parchment in 1458 by an anonymous illuminator from Cologna Veneta (Verona) and Vicenza, Italy, this masterpiece reflects the exquisite craftsmanship of the Italian School during this period. The print also reveals additional details such as a small author portrait at the top of the initial and a roundel featuring an unidentified coat of arms in the bas-de-page. These elements add depth and complexity to an already stunning composition. With kind permission from the Earl of Leicester and the Trustees of the Holkham Estate, this image allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance.
