EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 13th century, immersing us in the world of Abelard and Heloise. The Letters of Abelard and Heloise, written by these star-crossed lovers themselves, are considered one of the greatest love stories in history. The artwork featured here is a page from the Bible moralisee, beautifully crafted by an anonymous artist during the Gothic period in France. This exquisite piece showcases their mastery of watercolour on parchment, creating a stunning visual representation of this timeless tale. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but be drawn into the intricate details that bring this story to life. The delicate brushstrokes capture every emotion etched on Abelard and Heloise's faces as they pour their hearts out through letters exchanged between them. The inclusion of elements such as mythology and Roman de la Rose further enriches our understanding of their complex relationship. It serves as a reminder that love has always been intertwined with literature and allegory throughout history. Preserved within the esteemed collection at the University of Edinburgh, this artwork stands as a testament to human connection across centuries. It reminds us that even though time may pass, emotions remain universal. Let us cherish this remarkable piece for its historical significance and artistic brilliance while reflecting on the enduring power of love captured within its pages.
