1385 4000 Account Chandos Exploits Herald Kneeling Manuscript Tres Verse Years Sunt
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illumination, taken from the Chandos Herald manuscript, dates back to approximately 1385 and is a testament to the artistic mastery of Medieval illumination. The manuscript is a 4000-line French verse account of the exploits of Edward the Black Prince during the Hundred Years War. The illustration showcases a profound moment between God the Father and Edward the Black Prince as they both kneel in reverence, with the inscription "Et hec tres unum sunt" (And these three are One) written above them. This phrase is a reference to 1 John 7:21, emphasizing the unity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The intricate details of the illustration, from the delicate folds of the robes to the expressive faces of the figures, demonstrate the exceptional skill and artistry of the illuminator. The image not only serves as a visual representation of the spiritual connection between God and the Black Prince but also underscores the profound influence of religious beliefs during the Medieval period.
