EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a single leaf from a Book of Hours, featuring the poignant scene of Pieta. Created by the talented Italian artist Francesco dai Libri during the late 15th century, this masterpiece is truly awe-inspiring. The intricate details and vibrant colors depicted in tempera and gold on vellum bring this sacred moment to life. The image portrays Mary cradling her son Jesus after his crucifixion, evoking deep emotions of sorrow and compassion. Every brushstroke beautifully captures their expressions, conveying both grief and love. This artwork is attributed to Francesco dai Libri, an esteemed painter known for his exceptional skill in manuscript illumination. Housed within the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Verona, Italy, this leaf holds immense historical significance as part of a larger book used for private devotion during medieval times. Its delicate craftsmanship reflects the meticulous dedication put into creating such religious texts.
