EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, as depicted in the illuminated manuscript "Ms. Lat. Q. v. I. 126 fol. 26 Moses and the Israelites watching the Egyptians drown in the sea". Created by Jean Colombe around 1490, this masterpiece from the Book of Hours of Louis d Orleans transports us back to medieval times. The scene unfolds with Moses and his people standing at the edge of a vast sea, witnessing an awe-inspiring miracle unfold before their eyes. The chosen people are filled with both fear and hope as they watch their pursuers, the mighty Egyptian army, succumb to a watery grave. This dramatic portrayal symbolizes not only their escape from Pharaoh's clutches but also God's divine protection over them. Every detail is meticulously crafted on vellum, showcasing Colombe's exceptional talent for illumination. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns bring this ancient story to life, reminding us of its enduring significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork housed within Russia's National Library in St. Petersburg, we can't help but be transported into another era—a time when faith was unyielding and miracles were believed possible. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst great adversity, there is always hope for deliverance.
