EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant scene from the Book of Hours of Louis d Orleans, created in 1469 by the talented artist Jean Colombe. The image showcases a burial taking place within the solemn walls of a cloistered churchyard. As we delve into this medieval masterpiece, we are transported to a time when religious rituals held great significance. The composition is rich with symbolism and detail. A cross stands tall at the center, signifying faith and salvation. A gravedigger diligently works on digging the grave while priests clad in their vestments conduct an office for the dead. Choirboys lend their angelic voices to accompany this somber ceremony. Illuminated manuscripts were highly treasured during this era, and it is evident why as we observe the intricate illumination surrounding each figure depicted. The vibrant colors and delicate brushwork bring life to every character present – from monks engaged in prayer to clergy members fulfilling their sacred duties. This photograph print offers us a glimpse into religious devotion during medieval times, reminding us of our shared human experience across centuries. Preserved within the National Library in St Petersburg, Russia, this artwork continues to inspire awe and reverence today as it did when first created over five hundred years ago.
