EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a holy communion ceremony in the 12th century. In a beautifully adorned church, a priest and an altar boy with tonsure are seen giving holy communion to the devout congregation who kneel before them. The scene exudes an aura of reverence and devotion as the faithful partake in this sacred ritual. The image is taken from a manuscript found in the Royal Library, showcasing its historical significance. Handcoloured copperplate drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard, this artwork is part of "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days" published in Paris in 1834. The attire worn by both clergy members reflects the fashion of that era, providing insight into French culture during medieval times. This engraving transports us back to a period when religion played a central role in people's lives. Through this photograph, we witness not only the religious customs but also gain glimpses into societal norms prevalent during that time. It serves as a reminder of how traditions have evolved over centuries while highlighting the enduring nature of faith. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder has preserved this remarkable piece for us to appreciate and learn from today. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but be captivated by its historical richness and timeless beauty.
