EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intricately detailed print showcases a page from The Imhof Prayerbook, a stunning piece of art created in 1511 by the talented Flemish artist Simon Bening. Measuring at just 9x6.2 cm, this miniature masterpiece is filled with religious symbolism and exquisite craftsmanship. The page features a rich yellow background adorned with an ecclesiastical border that is both bold and ornate. Delicate floral patterns intertwine with images of insects, including butterflies and flies, adding a touch of whimsy to the overall composition. Pansies, known for their symbolic meaning in Christian art, are also prominently displayed. The text within the prayer book is meticulously written in calligraphy, showcasing Bening's mastery of his craft. Each letter stands out against the blue backdrop, creating a visually striking contrast.
