EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Virgin and Child Enthroned from the Hours of Simon de Varie" by Jean Fouquet, a renowned French artist from the Renaissance period. Created in 1455, this illuminated manuscript is a true masterpiece that measures 11.4x8.3 cm and is currently housed at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Commissioned by Simon de Varie, an esteemed servant of King Charles VII of France, this book of hours serves as both a calendar of church holidays and a collection of devotional texts for prayer services. The exquisite craftsmanship can be seen through the use of tempera colours, gold paint, gold leaf, and ink on parchment bound between pasteboard covered with red morocco adorned with olive and citron morocco inlays. The frontispiece depicts the Virgin Mary seated on an ornate throne while cradling baby Jesus in her arms. This religious scene radiates devotion and worship as it captures the essence of Christian faith during that era. Intricate borders surround the illustration along with coats of arms representing nobility. "The Virgin and Child Enthroned from the Hours of Simon de Varie" not only exemplifies Fouquet's artistic talent but also reflects his deep understanding and portrayal of scripture within his works. As we admire this remarkable piece today, we are transported back to a time when art served as a medium for spiritual enlightenment and reverence towards God.
