EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Bathsheba" by the Master of the Dresden Prayer Book, a Netherlandish artist from the late 15th century. The painting, created in Bruges around 1490, is part of a Book of Hours illuminated manuscript on vellum. The image depicts Bathsheba, a biblical figure from the Old Testament book of Samuel. She is shown bathing outdoors in an elevated view, with a castle or fortress visible in the background. The artist's attention to detail and use of paint and ink on gold ground create a stunning visual effect. Surrounded by natural space and accompanied by a medium group of animals including bunnies and rabbits, Bathsheba exudes grace and beauty as she engages in her daily ritual. The Latin text written in ink adds an artistic touch to this religious scene. This print captures not only the craftsmanship of the Master but also offers us insight into life during the fifteenth century. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with spirituality and storytelling throughout history. Displayed within its private collection, this piece invites viewers to appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness moments captured through brushstrokes on vellum – an enduring testament to human creativity across centuries.
