EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a stunning illuminated manuscript page from the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK. The artwork, known as MS 62 f. 20r, depicts St. Catherine presenting Isabel of Brittany to the Virgin and Child. Created by the Master of the Rohan Hours around 1445-50 for Isabel Stuart, wife to Francis I, Duke of Brittany, this French Horae is a masterpiece of medieval artistry. Measuring at 24.5x17.8 cm on vellum, it showcases intricate details and vibrant colors that have stood the test of time. In this scene, St. Catherine stands gracefully with her flag while presenting Isabel to the Madonna and Child seated on an ornate throne adorned with coats of arms and acanthus leaves. A devilish figure lurks beneath their feet as they are surrounded by biblical references such as scrolls and a Bible itself. Isabel herself is depicted as a regal figure wearing a crown and holding a book of hours - symbolizing her devotion to prayer and spirituality. The composition is further enhanced by delicate arabesques, palmettes, halos, and other decorative elements that add depth and beauty to this exquisite piece. As we gaze upon this print captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's collection without any commercial use intentions in mind; we can't help but marvel at its historical significance and artistic brilliance that continues to inspire awe even today.
