EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable medieval manuscript known as the "MS 300 f202v-203r, Suffrage to St Denis and Suffrage to St Eustace". Created by the French School in the 13th century, this exquisite piece of art measures 19x14.1 cm and is currently housed at the Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge in the UK. The image captures two distinct scenes from this prayer book, also known as Psalter and Hours of Isabella of France. On folio 202v, we witness a suffrage dedicated to St Denis. The saint holds the top of his own skull in his hands while being surrounded by heavenly angels. This depiction exudes an aura of divine power and spiritual significance. Moving on to folio 203r, we encounter another suffrage dedicated to St Eustace. In this scene, St Eustace stands alongside his wife and two sons within a heated brazen bull – a symbolically intense portrayal that represents their martyrdom for their faith. The intricate details rendered through pen & ink and tempera on parchment truly bring these religious figures to life. The illuminated initials add an extra layer of grandeur while showcasing the skillful craftsmanship characteristic of Gothic art. This print not only offers us a glimpse into medieval religious practices but also serves as a testament to human devotion throughout history. It reminds us that faith has always played an integral role in shaping our spirituality and understanding our place within the world.
