This print captures a mesmerizing moment from the 14th century. Titled "Ms. 400-2000: Miniature from Gratians Decretum showing a bishop preaching to a congregation" this masterpiece showcases the talent of the Italian School during that era. The image depicts an illuminated scene where a bishop, adorned in his ecclesiastical dress, stands before a captivated audience within the walls of a church. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this medieval manuscript to life, showcasing the skillful artistry of the Second Master of the San Domenico Choir Books. As he delivers his sermon, the preacher's gestures and expressions convey deep passion and conviction while engaging with his listeners. The composition beautifully captures both sides of religious education - teaching and listening. The monk-like figures in attendance attentively absorb every word spoken by their spiritual leader, creating an atmosphere filled with reverence and devotion. Displayed at Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge in the UK, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into centuries-old traditions and practices within Christianity.
