EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite vellum artwork titled "MS 66060-66061 Hours of the Cross: Compline, The Entombment" by Jacquemart de Hesdin. Created during the early 15th century, this piece is a part of the renowned Tres Belles Heures du Duc de Berry collection. The image depicts a scene of deep religious significance as it portrays the entombment of Jesus Christ. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element, from the ornate border adorned with delicate butterflies and fleur-de-lys motifs to the sorrowful figures mourning at rest. A walled city serves as a backdrop, adding an air of solemnity and reverence. Various animals are also present within this intricate composition, including swans, pheasants, parrots, jays, and bears. These creatures symbolize different aspects such as grief or wildlife itself. The illuminated manuscript captures both beauty and sadness simultaneously through its decorative elements and depiction of death. It invites viewers to reflect on themes of loss and faith while marveling at its artistic finesse. Acquired from Bibliotheque Royale de Belgique in Brussels by The Stapleton Collection, this print preserves an important historical artifact that continues to inspire awe centuries later. As we gaze upon this remarkable work today, we can appreciate not only its religious significance but also its timeless artistic brilliance.
