EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Adoration of the Magi" from the Book of Hours of Louis d Orleans, created by Jean Colombe in 1490. The image depicts a scene filled with profound symbolism and religious significance. In this medieval illuminated manuscript, we witness an array of onlookers, servants, and animals gathered around the stable where the baby Jesus lies in his mother's arms. Three kings adorned in majestic attire approach Mary and Joseph to present their precious gifts. A radiant star shines above them, guiding their way to this sacred moment. The artist skillfully captures the awe-inspiring atmosphere as each figure expresses deep reverence towards the newborn child. Horses stand patiently nearby while a donkey peacefully observes from afar. The ox completes this humble setting. Colombe's meticulous attention to detail is evident through his intricate brushwork and vibrant colors that bring life to every element within this composition. This illuminated manuscript serves as both a visual masterpiece and a spiritual testament. Preserved at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia, this extraordinary artwork continues to inspire viewers with its timeless beauty and devotion depicted within it. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of history's most cherished moments – the adoration bestowed upon Jesus Christ by kings and commoners alike.
