EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable historiated initial N, depicting the awe-inspiring tale of St. Maurice and the Theban Legion. Created by the Lombardy School between 1499 and 1511, this exquisite piece of art measures 15x14.5 cm and is currently housed in the Musee Marmottan Monet in Paris, France. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the legendary story of St. Maurice, an officer in the Roman army who led a legion of soldiers known as Theban Legion. In this scene from medieval times, we witness their unwavering loyalty and courage as they stand united under their banner. The skilled craftsmanship by Pampurino Alessandro (possibly with contributions from Thadeo Milanese) transports us back to the Renaissance era, where manuscripts served as windows into history. Every stroke of ink on vellum tells a story - one that speaks of sacrifice, martyrdom, and faith. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, our eyes are drawn to St. Maurice himself - his commanding presence exuding strength and determination. With his lance held high and armor gleaming under golden light, he represents not only a soldier but also a symbol of bravery against all odds. This print serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing moments frozen in time – whether it be battles fought or legends passed down through generations. It allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind its creation and the historical significance
