EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Crucifixion" from the Book of Hours of Louis d'Orleans, created in 1469 by Jean Colombe. The artwork, rendered on vellum and measuring 225x155 cm, is housed in the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. In this medieval illuminated manuscript, we witness the profound moment of Christ's crucifixion at Golgotha. The composition beautifully captures the anguish and sacrifice as Jesus hangs upon the cross. Surrounding him are figures central to his story: John the Evangelist stands beside Mary Magdalene, both grieving for their beloved savior. The landscape setting adds a somber atmosphere to this scene of death and redemption. A skull and bones lie at the foot of the cross, symbolizing mortality and reminding us that salvation comes through Christ's sacrifice. The illumination technique used by Colombe brings an ethereal quality to every detail. The Virgin Mary gazes up at her son with sorrowful eyes while maintaining an air of grace and strength. This portrayal emphasizes her role as not only a mother but also a spiritual figurehead. "The Crucifixion" from the Book of Hours invites viewers into a sacred moment frozen in time—a testament to faith, devotion, and eternal love depicted through exquisite craftsmanship that has stood the test of centuries.
