1250 Circle Initial P Latin Bible Sword Vellum Workshop Ephesians Tempera
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medieval art, a leaf from a Latin Bible dating back to around 1250. The intricate craftsmanship is attributed to the circle or workshop of Johannes Grusch Atelier, hailing from France. Measuring at approximately 14.6 x 12.1 cm (5 3/4 x 4 3/4 in. ), this delicate vellum leaf features an initial "P" adorned with stunning details. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly St. Paul holding a sword, as depicted in his Epistle to the Ephesians. The figure of St. Paul exudes strength and determination, symbolizing his role as one of Christianity's most influential apostles. Executed using ink, tempera, and gold on vellum, every stroke and color choice adds depth and richness to the composition. The use of gold accents further enhances its opulence and sacredness. It is worth noting that this particular print consists of two excised leaves from the original manuscript; however, it still manages to capture the essence and beauty present in each fragment. Owning such a rare artifact allows us to connect with history while appreciating the artistic mastery behind it. This print serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and an educational tool for those interested in exploring medieval religious manuscripts.
