EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illuminated manuscript page, hailing from the 15th century Codex of Predis held in the Royal Library of Turin, Italy, depicts a pivotal moment in the Passion of Christ as described in the New Testament. In the image, Jesus Christ (JC), wearing a royal purple robe and a crown of thorns, is brought before King Herod. Herod, seated on his throne, is flanked by soldiers, some of whom brandish a lance and a group of lancers. The king, skeptical of Jesus' claim to be the King of the Jews, interrogates Him with a curious expression. The scene is a testament to the intricate artistry of the Renaissance period, with meticulously detailed figures, rich colors, and a sense of depth created through the use of perspective. The Codex of Predis is an exceptional example of the illuminated manuscript tradition, which reached its zenith during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This religious art form was used to convey biblical stories and spread the teachings of Christianity throughout Europe.
