EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of art known as the "Inhabited Initial Q". Created by an unknown artist in Montecassino, Italy, Europe in 1153, this masterpiece is a testament to the skill and creativity of its creator. Measuring at 19.2 x 13.2 cm (7 9/16 x 5 3/16 in. ), this leaf-shaped artwork is adorned with vibrant tempera colors, shimmering gold leaf, intricate gold paint, and delicate ink on parchment. The attention to detail is truly remarkable. The initial 'Q' takes center stage in this composition but what truly sets it apart are the tiny figures that inhabit its curves and contours. These miniature characters bring life to the initial letter through their animated gestures and expressions. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness the craftsmanship of medieval artisans who dedicated countless hours perfecting their craft. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and the importance of preserving such treasures for future generations. Let us marvel at the beauty captured within these dimensions - a harmonious blend of color, texture, and storytelling that transcends time itself. This print invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also the historical significance it holds within each stroke of ink and brushstroke applied with care.
