EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print captures a leaf from a Book of Hours, specifically depicting the Coronation of the Virgin. Created by the talented Flemish artist Guillaume Vrelant between 1470 and 1480, this miniature artwork showcases his mastery in tempera, liquid gold, and grisaille on vellum. Measuring only 10.3 x 7.6 cm (4 1/16 x 3 in. ), this delicate sheet transports us to a world of devotion and spirituality. The scene portrays the moment when the Virgin Mary is crowned as Queen of Heaven by God himself, surrounded by angels and saints who bear witness to her exaltation. Vrelant's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; each figure comes alive with vibrant colors and intricate patterns adorning their garments. The use of liquid gold adds a touch of opulence, illuminating the heavenly atmosphere that permeates this sacred event. The choice of vellum as a canvas further enhances the ethereal quality of this masterpiece. Its smooth surface allows for precise execution while lending an air of timelessness to the composition. As we gaze upon this remarkable leaf from centuries past, we are reminded not only of Vrelant's artistic genius but also of the enduring power that religious art holds over our collective imagination. This print serves as both a testament to human creativity and an invitation to contemplate our spiritual connection with divinity through visual expression.
