EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing piece of art titled "Self portrait kneeling at the feet of the Virgin and Child". Created by Matthew Paris, an English Benedictine monk and chronicler from the 13th century, this colour lithograph is a facsimile of his original manuscript. In this self-portrait, we see Paris humbly kneeling before the majestic figures of the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus. His expression reflects deep reverence and devotion as he gazes up at them with awe. Dressed in traditional monastic attire, complete with a habit and tonsure, Paris's presence adds a personal touch to this sacred scene. The illuminated manuscript captures intricate details that are characteristic of medieval art. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring life to every brushstroke, enhancing its overall beauty. This print not only serves as a visual representation of religious devotion but also offers insight into the artistic techniques prevalent during that era. Displayed here is just one example from an extensive private collection that holds numerous treasures like these. It reminds us of our rich cultural heritage and invites contemplation on faith, history, and craftsmanship. As we admire this remarkable artwork captured by Ken Welsh for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness Matthew Paris's profound spirituality through his own eyes—a testament to his enduring legacy as both an artist and historian.
