EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and awe-inspiring "Curtain of the Tabernacle" one of six beautifully illustrated leaves from the renowned Postilla Litteralis (Literal Commentary) by Nicholas of Lyra, dating back to the 14th century. The curtain, depicted in vibrant colors using iron gall ink and gold on vellum, is a testament to the artistic mastery and deep religious significance that characterized Christian art during this period. Originating from France, this remarkable piece exemplifies the rich heritage of medieval academic works. The Latin script adorning the painting provides an educational insight into biblical teachings, specifically focusing on Exodus and its discussion of the Tabernacle. Through meticulous lettering and diagrammatic representation, Nicholas of Lyra's work offers a profound understanding of Old Testament narratives. Housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph captures every minute detail with precision. Opaque watercolors enhance each stroke while preserving its authenticity. As you gaze upon this image, immerse yourself in centuries-old Christianity as it comes alive through artistry and devotion. Let your imagination transport you to a time when faith was intricately woven into everyday life—a time when religion served as both inspiration for breathtaking artwork and enlightenment for countless souls seeking spiritual guidance. This print serves as a visual reminder that even today we can appreciate and learn from these ancient treasures that continue to shape our understanding of history, culture, and faith.
