EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illumination is taken from the 'Heures, a l usage de Paris tout au long sans rien requerir' or Hours of Paris for Germain Hardouyn, an Early Book of Hours printed in Paris in 1516. The intricately detailed image is a representation of the biblical story of The Flight to Egypt, which is depicted on the pages for the evening service of Vespers. The illustration showcases the harmonious coexistence of printed text and hand-illuminated ornaments. The text, which includes the hours of the day and prayers, is neatly printed in black ink, while the ornaments and figures are meticulously hand-painted in vibrant colors. The use of gold leaf adds a luxurious touch to the artwork. The Flight to Egypt scene portrays the Holy Family's escape to Egypt to protect baby Jesus from King Herod's decree to kill all male infants. Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus are depicted riding on a donkey, accompanied by angels and other figures. The landscape in the background is adorned with lush vegetation, rolling hills, and a serene river, creating a sense of tranquility and peace. The illumination is a testament to the artistic and craftsmanship skills of the artists and artisans of the time. The intricate details, the use of color, and the harmonious blend of printed text and hand-illuminated ornaments make this a truly exquisite piece of art. The Hours of Paris for Germain Hardouyn is a rare example of the fusion of print and illumination techniques, making it a valuable and coveted artifact in the history of bookmaking.
