EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Carolingian Art known as the "Miracle of the Holy Bulb". Created by the Carolingian School in the 9th century, this ivory diptych is housed in the Picardie Museum in Amiens, France. The diptych is divided into three distinct scenes that depict significant moments from Christian history. At the top, we see an intricate carving depicting the resurrection of a young girl, symbolizing divine intervention and miraculous healing. In the center panel, there is a depiction of a sick baptism, highlighting both faith and hope for spiritual cleansing and renewal. However, it is at the bottom where one finds an iconic moment: The baptism of Clovis I on December 25th, 498 AD. This historical event marked not only his conversion to Christianity but also signaled a turning point for Christendom itself. Queen Clothilde stands beside him as witness to this sacred ceremony. The craftsmanship displayed in this ivory carving is truly awe-inspiring. Every delicate detail brings these ancient events to life with precision and artistry. It serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic skill during medieval times. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from centuries past, we are reminded of its significance within French history and its enduring impact on Christian tradition.
