EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment from the 14th century, showcasing an intense scene of war and spirituality. Titled "The Tartars Carrying the Head of Heinrich before Castle Liegnitz; Saint Hedwig Seeing in a Dream Her Son's Soul Carried to Heaven, 1353" this parchment artwork was created by the Court workshop of Duke Ludwig I of Liegnitz and Brieg. Measuring at 34.1 x 24.8 cm, this piece is housed in the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA. The image depicts an angelic figure appearing to Saint Hedwig in her dream as she witnesses her son's soul being carried to heaven. This poignant moment contrasts sharply with the brutal reality depicted on the same page - Tartar warriors carrying the severed head of Heinrich before Castle Liegnitz. The composition is rich with symbolism and historical significance, offering a glimpse into medieval Poland and Europe during a time marked by conflict and religious devotion. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail: knights clad in armor riding powerful horses, flags fluttering amidst battle cries, arrows soaring through the air. As we delve into this manuscript illumination masterpiece, we are transported back centuries ago when castles stood as fortresses against invading armies and saints sought solace through divine visions amidst turmoil. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this remarkable work from Fine Art Finder for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty and historical context without commercial intentions or affiliations mentioned here.
