EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing artwork of Ms 36 Historiated initial D, a Latin bible from the 13th century. The image depicts a man engaged in an intense conversation with the devil himself. Painted by an anonymous French artist, this historiated initial D is housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France. The intricate details and vivid colors bring to life this medieval masterpiece. The man's expression reflects both curiosity and caution as he engages in dialogue with the horned god before him. With its wooden texture and illuminated backdrop, this letter-like capital captures a moment of temptation and communication between mortal and demon. The presence of dragons' heads surrounding them adds an air of mystique to the scene, symbolizing evil forces at play. This illuminating piece serves as a reminder of humanity's constant struggle against temptation and our eternal fascination with good versus evil. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every brushstroke and nuance within this historic artwork through their fine art printing technique. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment where faith meets temptation head-on.
