EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in history. The image captures the "Presentation of the work to the Pope" from Decretum Gratiani, an exquisite vellum manuscript created by the Italian School during the 15th century. The scene unfolds within the grandeur of Palazzo Schifanoia in Ferrara, Emilia Romagna, Italy. A group of distinguished individuals gathers around a table adorned with precious artifacts and manuscripts. At its center stands a bishop, his regal presence commanding attention. He holds a walking stick or cane as a symbol of his authority. To his side is an author monk who proudly presents their masterpiece - Decretum Gratiani - to none other than His Holiness himself, the Pope. This offering represents not only homage but also immense respect for religious doctrine and scholarly pursuits. As our eyes wander through this remarkable tableau, we notice an unexpected companion: a monkey perched on top of one man's shoulder. This whimsical addition adds intrigue and playfulness to an otherwise solemn occasion. The illumination techniques used throughout this artwork bring life to every detail – from intricate patterns adorning garments to delicate facial expressions that convey reverence and anticipation. This print by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind Decretum Gratiani and its historical significance as it continues to inspire awe centuries later.
