EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medieval art titled "Chronicle of the History of the World from Creation to Woden". Created by an unknown English School artist in the 15th century, this tempera on vellum masterpiece measures 81x46 cm and is housed at the Free Library of Philadelphia. The artwork begins with a striking portrait of Edward IV, mounted on horseback. The regal king exudes power and authority as he rides through history. Surrounding him are two roundels; one depicting God and another illustrating the Temptation of Adam and Eve. These intricate details highlight both divine intervention and human fallibility within our world's chronicles. Edward IV, King of England from 1442 to 1483, was known for his leadership skills and played a significant role in shaping British history. This manuscript serves as a genealogy document for Edward IV, tracing his lineage back to creation itself. The artistic style reflects Gothic influences prevalent during that era, featuring elaborate illuminations that enhance its visual appeal. Every brushstroke captures the essence of royalty and divine right while immersing viewers in a rich historical narrative. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork, we are transported back in time to witness pivotal moments that shaped our world today. It stands as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship and storytelling abilities possessed by artists centuries ago – reminding us how art can transcend time itself.
