EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a scene of extraordinary bravery and determination. The image depicts David, the biblical figure known for his courage and faith, defending his father's sheep against a fearsome lion. Set within the pages of the Book of Hours of Louis d Orleans, created by renowned artist Jean Colombe in 1469, this illuminated manuscript comes alive with vibrant colors and intricate details. The landscape unfolds before our eyes as we see David tending to his flock in a lush meadow. The young shepherd boy stands tall and resolute, fearlessly confronting the mighty lion that threatens his precious charges. His youthful face exudes both innocence and unwavering resolve as he beats back the ferocious beast with nothing but a simple staff. This medieval masterpiece captures not only the physical act of protecting one's livelihood but also symbolizes themes of courage, loyalty, and devotion. It serves as an inspiring reminder that even in the face of overwhelming odds, one can find strength within themselves to overcome any challenge. Through its exquisite illumination technique and meticulous attention to detail, this artwork showcases both artistic mastery and storytelling prowess. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection at National Library St. Petersburg in Russia, we cannot help but be captivated by its timeless message: that bravery knows no bounds when it comes to safeguarding what is dear to us.
