EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ms 151, a manuscript from the 15th century titled "Bernard of Clairvaux, Sermones Super Cantica Canticorum". The image captures the illuminated incipit page with an exquisite border and initial adorned in a mesmerizing strapwork interlace motif. The craftsmanship displayed in this artwork is truly remarkable. Every intricate detail has been meticulously created on parchment by an anonymous illuminator, possibly from Ferrara during the third quarter of the 15th century. Unfortunately, over time, the lower margin's initial [U] and arms have been heavily erased, leaving only traces of what was once there. Despite this erasure, one can still appreciate the original beauty that emanates from this piece. It is fascinating to imagine how it would have looked when first completed centuries ago. Thanks to the kind permission of the Earl of Leicester and the Trustees of the Holkham Estate, we are fortunate enough to witness this masterpiece today. Its historical significance cannot be overstated as it provides us with a glimpse into Italian artistry during that period. Bridgeman Images presents this stunning photograph for all art enthusiasts to admire and cherish. Let yourself be transported back in time as you explore every delicate stroke and pattern within this enchanting illumination.
