EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration from Book XVIII of the Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus. The artwork, created in the 16th century by an anonymous French School artist, depicts a pivotal moment in history - the tax collection mission led by Senator Cyrenius under Caesar's orders in Syria and Judaea. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this vellum masterpiece are truly mesmerizing. Commissioned by Cardinal Georges d'Amboise for his library at Château de Gaillon, this work bears witness to the exceptional talent of Jean Pichore, one of Paris' most renowned manuscript illuminators during that era. Additionally, Jean Serpin's skillful touch can be seen through the beautifully adorned borders surrounding the central illustration. Antiquitates Judaicae is a monumental historical account spanning 21 volumes chronicling Jewish history written by Flavius Josephus between 37-100 AD. This particular edition features Rufinus' fourth-century Latin translation. The inclusion of this exquisite artwork adds depth and visual storytelling to Josephus' narrative. Currently housed at Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France, this photograph captures not only a remarkable piece of art but also serves as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries. It allows viewers to delve into ancient times and immerse themselves in both historical events and artistic brilliance simultaneously.
