EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of the English School in the 15th century. Titled "Crucifixion with St. Mary and St. John the Baptist" this illuminated manuscript from the Missal of St. Botolph Aldersgate transports us back to a time of deep religious devotion. The focal point of this piece is undoubtedly the crucifixion scene, where Jesus Christ hangs on the cross, flanked by two significant figures - St. Mary and St. John the Baptist. Their expressions convey a mix of sorrow, reverence, and unwavering faith as they witness this pivotal moment in Christian history. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke seems to breathe life into these sacred characters. The use of vibrant colors against a backdrop of velvety vellum adds depth and intensity to their emotions. Notably, below this poignant depiction lies a roundel featuring a Tau Cross – an emblem closely associated with Saint Francis and his followers – further emphasizing themes of sacrifice and redemption. Originally part of the Missal used at St. Botolph Aldersgate church in London during medieval times, this precious artifact now resides within London Metropolitan Archives' collection. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its enduring power to inspire contemplation on matters both divine and human.
