EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning text page from the Sforza Hours, created in Milan around 1490. The intricate illustration features the Virgin Mary surrounded by two majestic peacocks, symbolizing her purity and immortality. The vibrant colors and delicate floral motifs add an enchanting touch to this medieval manuscript. The image transports us back to the 15th century, offering a glimpse into the world of illuminated manuscripts and their significance in preserving literature and art during that era. It is a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of unknown artists who dedicated countless hours to create such masterpieces. The presence of the Virgin Mary, often depicted as a central figure in religious artwork, evokes feelings of reverence and devotion. As we admire this print, we are reminded of her role as both a mother figure and a spiritual guide for believers. George F Warner's book on Illuminated Manuscripts in the British Museum provides valuable insights into this particular piece's historical context and artistic value. Through his meticulous research, Warner sheds light on its origins while allowing us to appreciate its beauty even more deeply. As we gaze upon this remarkable print captured by The Print Collector, we are transported through time – connecting with centuries-old traditions that continue to inspire awe today.
