EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature painting, created by the Italian miniaturist Cristoforo de Predis in 1476, captures the awe-inspiring moment of the Transfiguration of Jesus as described in the Bible. The scene unfolds on a mountainous peak, where Jesus stands in radiant glory, surrounded by Moses and the prophet Elijah. A brilliant light envelops them, and the three disciples, Peter, John, and James, are depicted with expressions of terror and wonder. This miniature is part of a larger devotional work, "Stories of Saint Joachim, Saint Anne, Virgin Mary, Jesus, the Baptist and the End of the World," commissioned by Galeazzo Maria Sforza, Duke of Milan. The work was likely intended for private use, reflecting the deep spiritual devotion that characterized the Italian Renaissance. The Transfiguration episode holds significant importance in Christian theology, as it is one of only a few instances where Jesus' divine nature is revealed to his disciples. The image of Moses and Elijah present serves to emphasize the continuity between the Old and New Testaments, further underscoring the sacred nature of the event. The intricate details of this miniature, from the folds of the robes to the individual strands of hair, showcase the exceptional skill of Cristoforo de Predis. The use of vibrant colors and delicate shading adds depth and dimension to the scene, making it a captivating work of art that continues to inspire awe and reverence.
