EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from a Psalter, dating back to the 12th century. The illuminated manuscript, most likely created in Canterbury, England, showcases an angel warning Joseph to flee to Egypt. This religious scene is brought to life with vibrant colors and intricate detailing that exemplify the artistry of this era. In this image, we see Joseph peacefully sleeping as he receives divine guidance through his dreams. The winged angel stands beside him, gently urging him to escape to Egypt for the safety of Jesus and Mary. This momentous event holds great significance in Christianity as it symbolizes God's protection and provision for His chosen ones. The artist's skillful illumination brings out every nuance of emotion on Joseph's face while highlighting the heavenly presence of the angelic messenger. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time and given a glimpse into an important biblical narrative. Preserved over centuries, this artifact serves as a testament to both British history and religious devotion. Its meticulous craftsmanship continues to inspire awe even in modern times. As we contemplate this extraordinary piece of art captured by CM Dixon's lens, we are reminded of our Savior's journey and the power of faith that guides us through challenging times.
