EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print showcases an exquisite alphabet of illuminated initials from the Heures de Charles d'An, a mid-15th century manuscript. Designed and lithographed by Ernest Guillot in 1897, this reproduction beautifully captures the intricate details of the original artwork. Each initial is adorned with figures, animals, and fantastical monsters, demonstrating the incredible craftsmanship of Robinet Testard and Jean Bourdichon who illuminated the original manuscript. The Latin inscription "Ave Maria Gratia Plena" adds a touch of spirituality to this ornate piece. The print is part of Guillot's Ornementation des Manuscrits au Moyen-Age (Ornamentation from Manuscripts of the Middle Ages) series and was inspired by Manuscript Latin No. 1173 housed in Bibl. Nat. , Paris. Its vibrant colors and meticulous detailing make it a true testament to medieval artistry.
