EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Ms 17 The Queen of Sheba" from the renowned collection Vie des Femmes Celebres, dating back to around 1505. Created on vellum by an anonymous French artist of the 16th century, this masterpiece is currently housed in the Musee Thomas Dobree in Nantes, France. The image depicts a scene from the biblical tale of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. The queen, adorned in regal attire and accompanied by her entourage, presents a golden jar as a gift to King Solomon. This exquisite manuscript captures the opulence and grandeur of courtly life during that era. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold in their garments and every expression on their faces tells a story. The vibrant colors used on this vellum piece bring life to each character portrayed within it. Noteworthy elements include jousting knights depicted in friezes along with an intricately designed throne where King Solomon sits majestically. Antoine du Four's skilled craftsmanship shines through his portrayal of delicate vessels surrounding them. This print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate this historical treasure without leaving their homes. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us into an era long gone but forever preserved through artistry like Du Four's exceptional work.
