EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from a miniature Book of Hours, originating from Bruges in the early 16th century. Created by the talented Flemish artist Simon Bening, this exquisite piece measures just 5.9x4.2 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The image depicted on this folio transports us to an awe-inspiring scene of resurrection and miracles. A female figure kneels before an open grave, her hands clasped in prayer as she witnesses the astonishing sight before her. In the foreground, we see Jesus Christ himself, accompanied by a faithful dog and holding a walking stick or cane. The composition beautifully captures the moment when Christ raises someone from death back to life—a powerful testament to his divine power and compassion for humanity. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this miraculous event to life with remarkable clarity. This miniature illustration forms part of a larger narrative within the Book of Hours that explores significant moments from both the New Testament and Theophilus' story—an ancient tale about redemption through faith. As we delve into this Northern Renaissance masterpiece, we are reminded of its illuminated pages filled with Latin texts that guide believers through daily prayers at specific hours—hence its name "Book of Hours". This extraordinary work exemplifies Bening's exceptional talent as an illuminator during one of Europe's most influential artistic periods.
