EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "St. Luke the Evangelist" created in 1120 by an anonymous French School artist from the 12th century. Measuring at a modest 12x18 cm, this vellum manuscript is currently housed in a private collection, allowing us to marvel at its beauty and historical significance. In this stunning illustration, St. Luke is depicted as a male figure with magnificent wings sprouting from his back, symbolizing his divine connection and heavenly inspiration. Seated gracefully, he holds a quill in one hand while delicately writing on an illuminated scroll with intricate details. The focal point of this masterpiece lies in the presence of a majestic winged ox or bull beside St. Luke, which serves as his symbolic representation throughout Christian art history. This powerful creature signifies strength and sacrifice associated with evangelism. The craftsmanship displayed here is truly remarkable; every stroke of ink brings life to St. Luke's figure and surroundings through meticulous illumination techniques commonly used during that era. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly captured this extraordinary piece for Fine Art Finder enthusiasts to appreciate and admire for generations to come. It serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage embedded within religious manuscripts like these – reminding us of their timeless allure and cultural importance across centuries.
