EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Altarpiece of the Master of Saint John the Baptist" painted by the enigmatic Master of the Life of Saint John the Baptist in 14th century Italy. The artwork, housed at Musee du Petit Palais in Avignon, France, depicts a poignant scene from "The Nativity of Saint John the Baptist". In this sacred image, we witness an offering to holy child as Saint Elizabeth lovingly presents her newborn son, Saint John the Baptist. Surrounding them are figures that symbolize care and devotion during childbirth and infancy: a nurse tending to their health, a doctor providing medication and medical expertise. The painting's intricate details transport us back to the Middle Ages with its rich trecento style and Italian influences. The furniture adorning this scene reflects both opulence and simplicity commonly found during this period. As we gaze upon this masterpiece captured by Photo Josse, we cannot help but feel awe-inspired by its religious significance. It serves as a reminder of faith's enduring power throughout history. Let this remarkable artwork be a gift for your eyes - an invitation to delve into centuries past where art was not only an expression but also a medium for spiritual connection.
