EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "MS. McClean. 81. f68r Adoration of the Magi, French Horae, 15th century". Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 15th century, this piece is a true testament to the beauty and skill of medieval illumination. Measuring at a modest size of 19.1x14 cm, this vellum manuscript is currently housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum in the University of Cambridge, UK. The museum's dedication to preserving and sharing historical treasures like this one allows us to appreciate its intricate details today. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the adoration scene featuring three wise men paying homage to baby Jesus Christ. The biblical figures are depicted with utmost reverence and grace as they present their gifts: gold from Balthazar, frankincense from Jasper, and myrrh from an unidentified king. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors bring life to each character portrayed on this page - Mary cradling her newborn child with tender love while gazing upon him with awe-inspiring devotion. As we delve into history through art like this, we gain insight into religious practices during that era. This particular manuscript serves as a visual representation of Christian beliefs prevalent in France during the late 15th century.
