EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of medieval art, depicting St. Mark at his desk from the Gospel of St. Mark in the renowned Ebbo Gospels. Created by a French School during the 9th century, this masterpiece measures 18x14 cm and is currently housed in the Bibliotheque Municipale in Epernay, France. The image captures St. Mark seated at his desk with intense focus and dedication as he meticulously transcribes sacred texts onto vellum parchment. The intricate details of his surroundings transport us back to a time when manuscript illumination was considered a divine craft. Commissioned by Ebbo, Archbishop of Reims (c. 775-851), this artwork holds great historical significance and religious symbolism. It beautifully exemplifies Carolingian art style prevalent during that era. A notable feature within this artwork is the presence of a majestic lion resting peacefully beside St. Mark's desk—a powerful representation often associated with him as an evangelical symbol. This remarkable print not only offers us a glimpse into ancient craftsmanship but also invites contemplation on devotion, spirituality, and artistic expression throughout history.
