EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Folio 55: The Feeding of the Five Thousand, a remarkable illuminated manuscript on vellum from 1551. Created by the German School in the 16th century, this piece measures approximately 15.2x10.2 cm and is part of a private collection. The artwork is attributed to the School of Sebald Beham, with initials S. G. , possibly indicating Sebastian Glockendon of Nuremberg. It forms part of the Prayerbook of Grafin Dorothea von Mansfield and depicts a biblical scene where Jesus miraculously multiplies loaves and fishes to feed a large group of people. In this close-up shot, we see women sitting on the ground while men stand nearby on hilly terrain. The illustration beautifully captures their expressions as they witness this extraordinary event unfold before them. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing life to each disciple present. The vibrant colors used in this illuminated manuscript draw our eyes towards the central figures and highlight their importance within the narrative. The intricate lettering adds depth and meaning to the composition, enhancing its religious significance. Mounted on paper for preservation purposes, this mid-16th-century masterpiece conveys both artistic skill and devotion through its meticulous execution. Its inclusion in Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection allows us to appreciate European artistry from centuries past while reflecting upon timeless themes such as faith, compassion, and abundance.
