EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "CL 22718A Humility Against Pride" from the renowned Rondeaux des Vertus, created for Louis de Savoie. The artwork, dating back to the 16th century and housed in the Musee National de la Renaissance in Ecouen, France, is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the French School. In this allegorical masterpiece, Humility stands triumphantly against her adversary, Pride. Painted on vellum with exquisite detail and vibrant colors, it captures a pivotal moment where virtue overcomes vice. The mother of Francis I embodies humility with grace and poise as she wields a lance against Lion - personifying pride itself. The composition is rich with symbolism; shielded by her coat of arms representing nobility and guided by divine illumination, Humility emerges victorious over one of the seven deadly sins. This renaissance manuscript serves as an enduring reminder that true victory lies not in arrogance but in embracing humility. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry through time's lens, we are transported to an era when craftsmanship was revered and storytelling took form through intricate illuminations. It invites us to reflect on our own battles between pride and humility while appreciating the timeless beauty captured within these delicate brushstrokes.
