Book of Hours, early 16th century. Creator: Jean Pichore
Book of Hours, early 16th century. Crucifixion scene. Jean Pichore, to whom this work is attributed, was one of many versatile artists who did not see the print revolution as a threat to their work as manuscript illuminators but rather embraced the opportunity to expand their skills. Pichore was an admired and highly sought-after artist whose deftness with a brush, demonstrated here, was equalled by his sense of design for the printed page

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning early 16th century Book of Hours print, attributed to the renowned French artist Jean Pichore, showcases a poignant Crucifixion scene. Pichore, known for his exceptional brushwork and innovative design, embraced the print revolution as an opportunity to expand his artistic repertoire rather than a threat to his work as a manuscript illuminator. In this exquisite image, the figure of Christ, crucified and clad in a loincloth, is depicted in the midst of his Passion. His mother, the Virgin Mary, dressed in a flowing robe and veil, kneels at the foot of the cross, her hands gesturing in prayer. The Madonna's posture conveys a deep sense of sorrow and devotion, as she cradles her son's lifeless body. The intricate details of the print, achieved through the use of ink and gold leaf on parchment, are a testament to Pichore's mastery of the medium. The rich colors and bold lines bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer back to the 16th century. This powerful and evocative image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Jean Pichore, whose work continues to inspire and captivate audiences across the globe. The Crucifixion scene is a poignant reminder of the central role that religious art played in European culture during the Renaissance, and serves as a bridge to our understanding of the heritage and history of the arts. This print is a precious addition to any collection of European art, and a testament to the enduring power of the printed image to convey the depth and complexity of human emotion and experience.
