EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of the "Initial O Pieta" by the Master of the Lee Hours, a Flemish artist active between 1450 and 1470. Believed to have been created in Ghent, Belgium around 1450-1455, this masterpiece is rendered on parchment using tempera colors, gold leaf, and ink. The focal point of this piece is the initial letter "O" beautifully adorned with intricate details and delicate brushwork. Within its curves rests a poignant depiction of the Pieta - Mary cradling her son Jesus after his crucifixion. The emotional depth captured in their expressions evokes profound sorrow and compassion. Measuring approximately 19.4 x 14 cm (7 5/8 x 5 1/2 in. ), this small yet impactful artwork transports viewers to a world where devotion meets artistic brilliance. The use of gold leaf adds an ethereal glow that enhances both the sacredness and aesthetic appeal of this religious scene. The Master's skillful technique combined with his ability to convey raw human emotions make this piece truly remarkable. It serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage found within Flemish art during the Renaissance period. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how art has transcended time, allowing us to appreciate and connect with masterpieces from centuries ago.
