EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a single leaf from a Book of Hours, featuring the poignant scene of Pieta. Created between 1475 and 1485, this masterpiece is attributed to Francesco dai Libri, an esteemed Italian artist from around 1506. However, it is believed that he drew inspiration from the renowned Andrea Mantegna, an influential Italian painter who lived from 1431 to 1506. The delicate artwork is executed in tempera and gold on vellum, measuring approximately 14 x 9.3 cm (5 1/2 x 3 11/16 in. ). The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship are evident as you observe the leaf closely. The Pieta depicted here portrays Mary tenderly cradling the lifeless body of her son Jesus after his crucifixion. This deeply emotional moment captures both grief and compassion with remarkable sensitivity. The use of gold accents adds a touch of divine radiance to the composition. As you delve into this extraordinary piece, you can't help but be drawn into its profound symbolism and spiritual significance. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of religious art throughout history. This print preserves not only the artistic brilliance but also offers a glimpse into centuries-old devotional practices captured within illuminated manuscripts like Books of Hours. A true treasure for art enthusiasts seeking to immerse themselves in Renaissance masterpieces.
