1480 Antiphonary Augsburg Initial H Nativity Recto Text Vellum Verso South Germany Tempera

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 15th century, specifically a Leaf Antiphonary Initial H Nativity recto Text. Created around 1480 in South Germany, possibly Augsburg, this masterpiece is an exquisite example of ink, tempera, and gold on vellum. The photograph captures the intricate details and vibrant colors that adorn this leaf. Measuring at an impressive 62.5 x 41 cm (24 5/8 x 16 1/8 in. ), it commands attention with its grandeur. The focal point of this artwork is the initial "H" which beautifully frames the Nativity scene depicted within it. The delicate brushstrokes and meticulous use of gold accents bring life to each figure present in the scene - from Mary cradling baby Jesus to Joseph standing protectively beside them. On the verso side of this leaf lies text that complements and enhances the visual narrative presented on the recto side. This combination creates a harmonious balance between imagery and written word. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event through the eyes of talented artisans who dedicated their skills to preserving history and faith.
