EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of deep devotion as Margaret of York kneels in prayer before the magnificent Cathedral of St. Gudula in Brussels. Dating back to the late 15th century, this image is an exquisite example of early Netherlandish art and illuminated manuscript. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors bring to life every intricate detail, from the ornate architecture of the cathedral to Margaret's richly adorned garments. The use of gouache on parchment adds a sense of depth and luminosity that enhances the overall beauty of this piece. Margaret herself, known for her strong religious beliefs, is portrayed with utmost reverence and humility as she bows her head in solemn prayer. Her presence exudes grace and piety, reflecting her position as Margaret of Burgundy. Created by the Master of Girart de Roussillon during his active years between 1440-1465, this miniature portrait showcases his exceptional skill in capturing both physical likeness and inner spirituality. As we gaze upon this remarkable work, we are transported back to a time when illuminated manuscripts were treasured possessions that conveyed stories through their meticulously crafted illustrations. This photograph serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance within medieval culture. Displayed proudly in the Collection of Bibliothèque royale de Belgique (Royal Library), this extraordinary piece continues to inspire awe and admiration for its masterful execution and timeless portrayal of faith.
