EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the Book of Hours of Louis d Orleans, created by Jean Colombe in 1469. The image depicts Pentecost, a significant event in Christian tradition symbolizing the descent of the Holy Ghost. In this illuminated manuscript, we witness an intimate moment as divine energy fills the air. The central focus is on a group of apostles and disciples who are gathered inside a temple. With heads bowed and hands clasped in prayer, they await the arrival of the Holy Spirit. Suddenly, a radiant dove descends from above, representing the presence of God's grace. Flames dance around each figure, signifying their spiritual transformation. Amongst them stands Mary, known as Madonna or Virgin Mary, her serene expression reflecting her deep connection to divinity. She serves as both witness and guide during this sacred encounter. Colombe's meticulous attention to detail brings this medieval masterpiece to life. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns illuminate every corner of this vellum page with ethereal beauty. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to experience an awe-inspiring vision that continues to inspire devotion and reverence today.
