EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Cod 22. f. 85v St. Luke the Evangelist" from Treves, a Carolingian masterpiece dating back to around 800 AD. The vibrant colours and intricate details are beautifully captured in this colour lithograph by the German School of the 9th century. The image depicts St. Luke the Evangelist, one of the four apostles, diligently engaged in writing his gospel with an air of divine inspiration surrounding him. This illuminated manuscript is believed to be part of the Gospel of Ada, created during the same period. The artist's skillful hand brings life to every element within this miniature composition. St. Luke is portrayed with utmost reverence and focus as he sits beside a majestic ox symbolizing his role as an evangelist and representing sacrifice and strength. This rare piece from a private collection offers us a glimpse into medieval artistry at its finest, showcasing not only religious devotion but also remarkable craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. As we admire this extraordinary work, let us appreciate how it bridges centuries together - connecting us with both ancient traditions and contemporary appreciation for artistic excellence.
