EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medieval art, specifically Ms 1 fol. 90v St. Luke from the Ebbo Gospels. Created between 816 and 835 by the French School in the 9th century, this artwork is made on vellum, a fine parchment material commonly used during that era. The image depicts St. Luke, one of the four evangelists, seated at a beautifully adorned lectern with an intricate carolingian design. The saint is portrayed as a winged ox or bull, which serves as his symbolic representation in Christian iconography. With great attention to detail and precision, the artist captures St. Luke engrossed in writing his gospel text on a desk before him. This portrayal not only highlights his role as an evangelist but also emphasizes his dedication to spreading the teachings of Christianity through scripture. Commissioned by Ebbo (c. 775-851), Archbishop of Reims, this masterpiece holds significant historical value and reflects the artistic style prevalent during that period. Currently housed in Bibliotheque Municipale in Epernay, France, this manuscript offers us a glimpse into medieval religious practices and serves as a testament to human creativity across centuries. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate and admire both the craftsmanship involved in its creation and its enduring cultural significance for generations past and present.
