EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning piece of medieval art, specifically from the Hours of Marguerite d Orleans. The focal point is none other than St. Peter himself, depicted in intricate detail on vellum by an anonymous French artist from the 15th century. In this remarkable image, St. Peter stands tall and regal, adorned with vibrant floral motifs that surround him. His presence exudes strength and wisdom as he holds a key symbolizing his role as the gatekeeper to the Kingdom of Heaven. The scene is further enriched by various elements such as archery targets and crossbowmen in action, representing both target practice and martyrdom associated with St. Peter's life. A crucifixion scene can be seen within an historiated capital letter 'D', adding depth to the narrative. Delicate butterflies flutter around, while birds soar above in this meticulously crafted manuscript page. The attention to detail extends even to tiny insects crawling amidst beautiful flowers that adorn the border. This extraordinary artwork not only serves as a visual feast but also offers insight into medieval religious beliefs and artistic techniques of its time. Preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, it continues to captivate viewers centuries later through this exquisite print brought to you by Bridgeman Images.
