EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork from the middle of the 15th century, titled "Amadee de Saluces and the Virgin". The image depicts Amadee de Saluces, daughter of Manfroy, Seigneur de Carde, kneeling in devotion before the Virgin Mary and Child. This exquisite piece is part of the Saluces Hours manuscript produced in Savoy, Italy. The illuminated manuscript features a beautifully decorated initial 'O' with borders adorned by intricate floral designs and whimsical animal grotesques. It is a testament to the artistic brilliance of this era. In this scene, Amadee de Saluces humbly pays homage to her patron saint while holding a book that symbolizes literature and knowledge. The serene expression on her face reflects deep religious devotion as she gazes upon Mary and Jesus Christ. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to every detail - from the delicate features of Baby Jesus to Mary's gentle countenance. This print captures not only an important moment in Christian history but also highlights themes of motherhood and family bonds. Preserved through time, this masterpiece continues to inspire awe with its rich cultural significance. Thanks to George F Warner's meticulous documentation in his book "Illuminated Manuscripts in the British Museum" we can now appreciate this extraordinary work for generations to come.
