EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork found in Ms 322 f. 97r, Psalm 97, initial C, Annunciation to the Shepherds. Created by William de Brailes around 1250, this illuminated manuscript transports us back to medieval England and offers a glimpse into the birth of Christ. The scene depicted is one of profound significance - the Annunciation to the Shepherds. With delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors on vellum, Brailes captures the moment when an angel appears before humble shepherds in a field at night. The ethereal glow emanating from both heavenly beings illuminates their faces with awe and wonder. Intricately detailed elements such as Saint Joseph standing beside Mary and a flock of sheep grazing nearby add depth and realism to this Gothic masterpiece. The tender presence of Madonna holding baby Jesus evokes a sense of serenity amidst divine revelation. As we delve deeper into this illustration from the De Brailes Psalter, we are reminded that it originates from the Book of Psalms - a collection of sacred songs praising God's glory. This particular psalm celebrates His reign over all creation while foreshadowing His ultimate gift to humanity through Christ's birth. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' meticulous preservation efforts and collaboration with New College, Oxford, we can now appreciate every intricate detail within this early English artwork without any commercial use involved. Let yourself be transported back in time as you explore this mesmerizing piece that encapsulates faith
