EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable miniature from the incunable Ogier le Danois, printed by A. Verard in Paris in 1498. The image transports us back to the Carolingian period of the 8th and 9th centuries, where we find ourselves immersed in a world of history and legend. In this scene, we witness an intriguing encounter between a monk and a bishop. Both figures are dressed in vibrant robes that reflect their esteemed positions within the church. The monk's habit signifies his devotion to religious life, while the bishop's attire symbolizes his authority as a spiritual leader. The composition is beautifully balanced with a horizontal format that allows our eyes to wander across every intricate detail. A majestic horse stands beside them, perhaps serving as their trusted companion during their journey through France or even Denmark. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing artwork, it becomes clear that it holds more than just aesthetic value; it tells a story steeped in medieval literature and folklore. It sparks our imagination and invites us to explore further into the rich tapestry of European history. Preserved within the National Library archives, this rare piece offers us an invaluable glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. Thanks to Santiago Ortega's expert photography skills, this print captures every nuance of color and texture present on its original surface. Let this photograph transport you back in time as you admire the artistry and craftsmanship displayed within this extraordinary miniature from Ogier le Danois - truly
