EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illuminated manuscript page, hailing from the Italian Renaissance period, depicts a pivotal moment in Christian history as recounted in the New Testament. The scene unfolds in the garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus and his disciples have gathered for prayer before the impending crucifixion. In the foreground, an agonized Jesus, with his disciples Peter and John in the background, encounters a man possessed by the devil. The man, fettered and in a state of distress, is shown throwing stones at himself in an attempt to quell the demon's torment. The Apostles, astonished by the encounter, are shown in various reactions, with Peter reaching out to grasp the chain binding the man, while John looks on in disbelief. The landscape surrounding the figures is richly detailed, with rolling hills, trees, and a distant cityscape adding to the sense of serenity and otherworldliness. This page is from the Codex of Predis, a beautiful and intricately illustrated manuscript created in Milan in 1476 by the artist Cristoforo di Gerolamo. The manuscript is now part of the Royal Library in Turin, Italy, and is a testament to the artistic and religious achievements of the medieval and Renaissance periods. The image of Jesus and the possessed man serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle between good and evil, and the transformative power of faith and compassion.
