EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Leaf from a Missal, dating back to the year 1300. Created by an unknown Italian artist belonging to the 14th century Perugian School, this piece of parchment measures 36.7x24.7 cm in total, with the text itself measuring 23.0x16.5 cm. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship are evident in this illuminated manuscript leaf. The use of gold leaf adds a touch of opulence and grandeur to the artwork, while the historiated initial draws attention with its depiction of Baby Jesus being presented at the temple. This religious-themed artwork is deeply rooted in Catholicism and Christianity as it portrays scenes related to Christ and his life. The presence of priests, monks, and clergy further emphasizes its connection to religious orders during medieval times. The delicate penwork combined with beautiful calligraphy makes this manuscript leaf truly remarkable. It serves as both a document for mass readings and prayers but also as an artistic expression that reflects the devotion and piety prevalent during that era. Currently housed at Fitzwilliam Museum within the University of Cambridge in the UK, this masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and spiritual significance. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this stunning work without any commercial restrictions or limitations on its usage.
