EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning piece of art from the 15th century, titled "A Bishop, from the Codex Capodilista". Created by an Italian School artist on vellum, this masterpiece is currently housed in the Biblioteca Civica in Padua, Italy. The image captures a bishop elegantly dressed in drapery and mounted on horseback. The intricate details of this artwork are truly remarkable. The delicate handwriting and illuminated text surrounding the bishop add depth to the composition. With one hand gesturing and pointing towards something unseen, it's as if he is imparting wisdom or guidance to those who observe him. The artist's skillful use of illumination brings life to both the bishop and his noble steed. The horse exudes strength and grace as it stands tall against a beautifully illustrated background reminiscent of Renaissance art. This print not only offers a glimpse into historical religious iconography but also celebrates equestrianism as a sport during that era. It serves as a reminder of our connection with animals and wildlife while showcasing livestock used for various purposes. With its rich history and artistic brilliance, this print transports us back in time to appreciate the craftsmanship of centuries past. It invites us to marvel at how art has evolved over time while reminding us that beauty can be found even in works created hundreds of years ago.
