EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases an extraordinary piece of medieval art titled "Initial D Fool Dog Face Wearing Winged Headgear". Created by the talented Bute Master, a Franco-Flemish artist active between 1260 and 1290, this illuminated manuscript page hails from northeastern France around 1285. The intricate details of this artwork are truly mesmerizing. The initial "D" is adorned with vibrant tempera colors, gold accents, and delicate iron gall ink on parchment. At its center stands a peculiar figure - a fool wearing winged headgear with a dog face. This enigmatic character seems to be menacing Christ himself in an unexpected twist. Located at the bas-de-page, another intriguing element captures our attention: A fool making faces directly at the reader. This playful interaction adds depth and whimsy to the overall composition. Measuring approximately 17 × 11.9 cm (6 11/16 × 4 11/16 inches), this leaf holds immense historical value as it represents both text and illumination typical of that era. While we admire this remarkable artwork for its artistic brilliance and cultural significance, it's important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use or affiliation with any specific company. Instead, it focuses solely on appreciating the beauty and craftsmanship found within this unique piece from history's rich tapestry of artistry.
