EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the historical manuscript "Ms Hunter 6 f. 1r". The image captures a beautifully illustrated historiated initial, featuring a kissing couple, within Bartolo da Sassoferrato's renowned work Lectura Super Infortiato. Created by an Italian School artist in the 15th century, this vellum masterpiece measures 41.9x28.3 cm and is housed in the prestigious Glasgow University Library in Scotland. The intricate artwork depicts two lovers locked in an intimate embrace, evoking a sense of passion and romance that transcends time. This enchanting scene serves as an illustration for the treatise on Infortiatum, one of three medieval divisions of the Digests. The delicate brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail highlight the skill and craftsmanship of both the artist and scribe involved in creating this extraordinary piece. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a bygone era where manuscripts were not only sources of knowledge but also works of art. Incorporating themes such as love, lover, lovers, medieval life, kisses, embraces, and even alluding to famous figures like Eloise and Abelard, this photograph print offers us a glimpse into history through its visual storytelling.
