EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 15th-century breviary, belonging to Bishop Pedro Garcia de Montoya of Spain, showcases a magnificent miniature depicting the Epiphany of the infant Jesus. The intricately detailed illustration captures the reverent moment when the three Magi, Balthasar, Melchior, and Caspar, pay homage to the newborn King of the Jews. The Magi are shown on horseback, led by a star, as they approach the humble stable where the Holy Family resides. The Virgin Mary cradles Jesus, while St. Joseph looks on with a protective gaze. The exquisite handwriting and illumination that adorn the pages of this precious liturgical text reflect the rich artistic and cultural heritage of medieval Spain during the Gothic period. The Epiphany, an essential feast day in the Christian calendar, commemorates the manifestation of Jesus as the Son of God to the Gentiles, symbolizing the universality of the Christian faith. This breathtaking work of art, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the spiritual and artistic traditions of the Middle Ages, making it an invaluable treasure of European history and religious art.
