EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Louis de Gruuthuse, a prominent figure from the 15th century, standing before an exquisite astronomical clock. The artwork is derived from "Horloge de Sapience" by Henri Suso and dates back to approximately 1470-1480. Preserved in the esteemed collection of Bibliotheque Nationale de France, this piece exemplifies the fusion of allegory and literature with its intricate details. Louis de Gruuthuse's presence before the astronomical clock signifies his profound interest in astronomy and intellectual pursuits. Surrounding him are various astronomic implements such as armils, armillary spheres, astrolabes, and even a celestial sphere. These tools symbolize his dedication to studying the heavens and understanding their mysteries. The artist behind this masterpiece is known as the Master of Margaret of York who was active during 1470-1480 in Flanders. Their exceptional skill in manuscript illumination shines through every stroke on this gouache on parchment creation. As we delve into this medieval illuminated letter, we are transported to an era where knowledge was cherished above all else. The spherical astrolabe depicted within further emphasizes their belief in a spherical Earth long before it became widely accepted. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers us a glimpse into history's rich tapestry. It reminds us that curiosity has always been at the heart of human progress and that art can be a powerful medium for preserving our collective heritage for generations to come
