EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Jesus and the lepers" depicts a miniature artwork by Cristoforo de Predis from the 15th century. The image is part of the Historia del nuovo testamento, a biblical manuscript that beautifully captures a significant moment in Jesus Christ's life. In this scene, Jesus stands amidst a group of lepers, showcasing his compassion and healing abilities. Leprosy was considered an incurable disease during that time, causing social isolation and immense suffering for those afflicted. However, Jesus defied societal norms by reaching out to these marginalized individuals with love and understanding. The vibrant colors and intricate details in this illuminated miniature bring the story to life. It serves as a powerful reminder of faith, hope, and the transformative power of kindness. By touching upon themes such as illness, medicine, health, religion, and medieval beliefs surrounding ailments like leprosy or venereal diseases (STDs), it offers valuable insights into medical science during the Middle Ages. This remarkable artwork not only showcases Cristoforo de Predis' artistic talent but also provides us with a glimpse into religious practices and cultural perceptions of health during the 15th century. It is an exquisite piece that continues to inspire contemplation on spirituality and humanity's capacity for empathy even after centuries have passed.
