EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of religious art from the 13th century. Titled "Christ in glory with the symbols of the four Evangelists" this image is taken from the Westminster Psalter, an illuminated manuscript housed in the British Museum. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, but their talent and devotion to Christianity are evident. In this depiction, Christ is portrayed in all his divine splendor, surrounded by a radiant halo that signifies his holiness. He stands majestically amidst vibrant colors and intricate details that bring life to the scene. Symbolizing the four Evangelists – Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John – are their respective emblems: an angel for Matthew, a lion for Mark, an ox for Luke, and an eagle for John. The gestures captured within this artwork convey a sense of power and authority emanating from Christ himself. His outstretched arms seem to embrace both heaven and earth as he blesses those who behold him. This print serves as a testament to medieval religious devotion while also showcasing exceptional artistic skill. Preserved through time by Sir George Frederic Warner's meticulous work on illuminated manuscripts at the British Museum in 1899, this image continues to inspire awe today. It invites viewers into a world where faith intertwines with artistic expression—a visual representation of Christian literature that transcends centuries and connects us with our spiritual heritage.
