EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print showcases the stunning artwork of the "Initial V: Saint Apollonia with a Book and Tongs" by the Master of the Llangattock Hours. Created in Bruges, Belgium during the 1450s, this illuminated manuscript is a true masterpiece of Flemish art. The focal point of this intricate initial is Saint Apollonia herself, depicted with grace and elegance. She holds a book in one hand, symbolizing her devotion to knowledge and learning. In her other hand, she delicately grasps tongs, which represent her martyrdom as she was known for having her teeth forcibly removed. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. The vibrant tempera colors bring life to Saint Apollonia's flowing robes and serene expression. Gold leaf accents add a touch of opulence while illuminating the page with an ethereal glow. Crafted on parchment measuring 26.4 x 18.4 cm (10 3/8 x 7 1/4 in. ), this artwork exudes both grandeur and intimacy simultaneously. It serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship that flourished during this period. As we admire this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the artistic brilliance that captivated audiences centuries ago.
