EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of the "Madonna and Child" folio from the Rabula Gospels, dating back to 586 AD. Created by the Byzantine School in tempera on vellum, this masterpiece measures 34x27 cm and is currently housed at the Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana in Florence, Italy. The image depicts a tender moment between Mary, known as Madonna, and her divine infant son Jesus Christ. The artist skillfully illustrates their bond with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring life to this ancient manuscript page. The composition is adorned with peacocks symbolizing immortality and resurrection. Originally written by monk Rabula at the Monastery of St. John the Evangelist in Zagba, Syria, this illuminated codex holds great historical significance. Its pages are filled with Syriac text alongside stunning illustrations that narrate biblical stories. The presence of a baldachin canopy adds an air of grandeur to this sacred scene while emphasizing Mary's role as Queen of Heaven. This particular folio (codex Plut. I, 56) has been meticulously preserved over centuries and remains a testament to both artistic mastery and religious devotion. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, viewers can now appreciate every delicate brushstroke and marvel at how such an ancient artifact continues to inspire awe today.
