EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Council of Ephesus, a significant event that took place in 431. The artwork is an illuminated lettrine found in a manuscript dating back to the 13th century, currently housed at the Bibliotheque de Toulouse in France. The composition depicts a gathering of influential figures from medieval times, representing an important moment in history. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, yet their skill and attention to detail are evident through the intricate illuminations present within the lettrine. This particular image captures both the essence of the Middle Ages and the significance of this council. The Council of Ephesus was convened to address theological disputes surrounding Mary's title as "Mother of God". It resulted in her being officially recognized as such by Christian doctrine. This decision had far-reaching consequences for religious beliefs and practices throughout Europe during that time. Leonard de Selva expertly captured this historical artifact through his photography skills, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty and cultural importance. With permission granted by Mr. de Toulouse himself, this print now resides within various collections worldwide. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a pivotal moment where religion intersected with artistry—a testament to human creativity and intellectual pursuits throughout history.
