This print showcases "The Circumcision" as depicted in an illuminated page, a remarkable work by the Master of the Dominican Effigies. Preserved at the Municipality Library in Poppi, Arezzo, this piece is a testament to Gothic art from the Middle Ages in Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. Dating back to the 14th century, this artwork beautifully captures a significant moment from the life of Christ. The scene portrays Mary and Joseph presenting their newborn son for circumcision according to Jewish tradition. The priest can be seen performing this sacred ritual with utmost reverence. The composition of this illumination is truly awe-inspiring. In addition to depicting human figures with great detail and emotion, it incorporates vegetal elements that enhance its visual appeal. These intricate details demonstrate not only the artist's skill but also reflect religious symbolism prevalent during that era.

This image serves as a reminder of how faith played a central role in people's lives during medieval times.
