EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment from the 13th-century French Psalter of Saint Elisabeth. In this detailed vellum manuscript, we witness the Sacrifice of a Pig taking place in December, an event that holds great cultural and historical significance. The illumination showcases the meticulous artistry and skill of the French School. The scene unfolds with an axe-wielding figure preparing to carry out the sacrificial act, surrounded by several animals bearing witness to this solemn ritual. The pig, its intricate details beautifully rendered on vellum, stands as a central symbol representing both sustenance and sacrifice. As we delve into this image's rich narrative, it becomes evident that it offers more than just a glimpse into medieval life; it provides insight into religious practices and societal customs prevalent during that era. This illuminated psalter serves as a testament to St. Elisabeth's devotion while shedding light on France's cultural heritage. Now housed at Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Cividale del Friuli, Udine, Italy (Friuli-Venezia Giulia), this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its exquisite craftsmanship and historical context. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece for us to appreciate its beauty and contemplate our connection with past traditions.
