EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases an exquisite medieval artwork titled "Initial N: Bishop Theophiluss Ship Blown Off Course and Bishop Theophilus in Prayer". Created by the Master of the Brussels Romuleon or workshop, a Flemish artist active around 1465, this piece is believed to have originated in Brussels, Belgium. The intricate details and vibrant colors come to life on the parchment canvas measuring 24.8 x 17.6 cm. The central focus of the image is an ornate initial letter 'N, ' beautifully adorned with gold leaf and paint, as well as delicate inkwork. Within this initial lies a dramatic scene depicting Bishop Theophilus' ship being blown off course amidst treacherous waters. Intriguingly, alongside the shipwrecked vessel stands Bishop Theophilus himself, depicted deep in prayer. This juxtaposition highlights his unwavering faith even in times of great adversity. The craftsmanship displayed here demonstrates exceptional skill and mastery over tempera colors and gold leaf techniques commonly employed during this period. Every brushstroke seems deliberate and purposeful, capturing both the turmoil of nature's wrath and the serenity found within one's devotion. As we gaze upon this remarkable work of art dating back to approximately 1465-1470, we are transported to a different era where religious symbolism intertwines with artistic expression. It serves as a testament to human resilience when faced with unexpected challenges while reminding us that solace can always be found
