EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illuminated calendar print from the year 1846 showcases the beauty and intricacy of medieval art as depicted in Henry Noel Humphreys' "The Illuminated Calendar and Home Diary." The image for July features a quote from the Book of Colossians, "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence," framed by figures of Saints Sophia and Philip. The central focus is the figure of Saint Bartholomew, a disciple of Jesus, depicted with a woman holding a wheel, symbolizing his martyrdom, and a basket of wheat, representing the harvest. Surrounding the central image, birds perch among lush foliage, and castles and towers rise in the background. This stunning work is a chromolithograph, a printing technique that uses multiple lithographic stones, each coated with a different color, to create a vivid and detailed image. The intricate details and rich colors are further enhanced by the application of gilt, or gold leaf, adding a luxurious and ornate quality to the print. Originally taken from the illuminated manuscript of the Duke of Anjou's Book of Hours, housed in the Bibliothèque Royale in Paris, this print offers a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of the medieval period.
