EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases the exquisite "Mary Queen of Scots Prayer Book" a remarkable piece of art created by the French School in the 16th century. Crafted with ink on parchment, this illuminated Book of Hours is believed to have been given by Mary herself to Lord Herries after her defeat at Langside in 1568. In this image, we witness a moment frozen in time as Mary kneels in prayer amidst the serene beauty of Terregles, Dumfriesshire. The scene takes place at night, under the shadowy Mount of Olives, evoking a sense of isolation and introspection. The manuscript lies open before her, adorned with intricate borders and illuminations that depict scenes from Jesus Christ's agony in the garden. As Mary fervently prays, her disciples sleep nearby, unaware of their leader's internal struggle. The inscription on the page speaks volumes about her devotion and faith during these trying times. Every detail has been meticulously captured: from Mary's posture as she bows her head to the delicate script that fills each margin. This print transports us back to an era defined by religious passion and artistic brilliance -the Renaissance period. It serves as a poignant reminder of both Mary Queen of Scots' tumultuous life and enduring legacy. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this masterpiece without any commercial constraints while marveling at its profound spiritual significance.
