EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the opening page from the Missel de Paris, a remarkable manuscript dating back to around 1475. Created by Jean Fouquet or his school, this vellum masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France. The Missel de Paris holds immense historical and artistic significance as it represents the incipit of Missale secundum usum ecclesiae Parisiensis (Missal according to the use of the Church of Paris). The intricately detailed miniatures on this page depict the Holy Trinity surrounded by three angels, symbolizing God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. Below them are personifications of Mercy, Truth, Righteousness embracing Peace from Psalm 85. Adding further beauty to this composition is an exquisite portrayal of The Annunciation at its base. The borders surrounding these divine scenes feature eight allegorical pictures representing La Misericorde (Mercy), La Verite (Truth), La Justice (Justice), and La Paix (Peace). Each element within this artwork harmoniously blends together to create a visual symphony that captures both spiritual devotion and artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only a significant religious artifact but also a testament to human creativity and faith. This stunning photograph allows us to appreciate every delicate brushstroke and intricate detail preserved on vellum for centuries
