EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century Annunciation to the Shepherds image is taken from the Tour et Taxis Book of Hours, currently housed at the Chateau de Chantilly in France. The Annunciation to the Shepherds is an essential episode in the Christian New Testament, recounting the announcement made by an angel to a group of shepherds in the fields of Bethlehem about the birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. The scene is beautifully depicted in this illuminated manuscript, with the angel, dressed in flowing robes and holding a lily, standing before the humble shepherds, who are shown in various stages of surprise and awe. In the background, the star of Bethlehem shines brightly, guiding the way to the nativity scene, where the newborn Jesus lies in a manger, surrounded by his mother Mary and the adoring ox and ass. The presence of the zodiac sign of Aries, represented by a ram or sheep, is a common motif in medieval art and symbolizes the beginning of the new astrological year and the arrival of the Messiah. This miniature is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Europe during the Middle Ages, and its intricate details continue to captivate and inspire viewers to this day. The Tour et Taxis Book of Hours is a prime example of the art of the illuminated manuscript, a tradition that reached its peak during the 15th century in France. These books were used as personal prayer books, and their intricate illustrations and decorations served to enhance the spiritual experience of the reader. This Annunciation to the Shepherds image is a sacred scene that continues to convey a powerful message of hope, joy, and the arrival of the Messiah.
