EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of "Ms 242 f. 55v The Crucifixion" from the Packham-Clifford Hours, a manuscript dating back to the 14th century. Created by an anonymous English artist, this masterpiece measures 24.7x16.7 cm and is housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge. The image depicts a scene of profound sorrow and mourning as Jesus Christ hangs on the cross, surrounded by a diverse array of animals and human figures. A female figure kneels in prayer, her grief palpable as she contemplates the crucifixion. Meanwhile, various animals such as wolves, lions, hedgehogs, and bears are depicted symbolically throughout the composition. The attention to detail is remarkable; each animal appears meticulously rendered with gold leaf accents adding a touch of opulence to their forms. This medieval illumination also features grotesque creatures and heraldic coats of arms that speak to its aristocratic origins. As we delve into this historical artifact through modern technology, we can appreciate not only its artistic merit but also gain insight into medieval society's values and beliefs surrounding suffering and faith. Through this photograph print provided by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers can experience firsthand how art has served as a powerful medium for storytelling across centuries.
