EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Virgin Praying" a stunning piece of art created around 1500 by the French School. The painting, rendered with paint and ink on vellum, measures 16.7x11.4 cm and is currently held in a private collection. "The Virgin Praying" is part of a larger illuminated manuscript known as the Book of Hours, specifically found on folio 117v. It was skillfully painted in Paris, Rouen or Tours during the early sixteenth century by the Master of Petrarchs Triumphs. In this portrait-style artwork, we see an exquisite representation of the Virgin Mary engaged in prayer outdoors. She is depicted in a quarter-length pose, her head and shoulders beautifully captured with great attention to detail. The serene atmosphere is enhanced by the presence of an angel hovering above her. Adding to the enchantment of this scene are two adorable baby animals - a lion cub and another unidentified mammal - standing beside Mary as she worships devoutly. The architectural features surrounding Mary include pillars that create an elegant backdrop for this sacred moment. The use of vibrant blue hues further enhances the spiritual aura emanating from this masterpiece. "The Virgin Praying" serves as both a testament to religious devotion and artistic excellence from the early sixteenth century. Its delicate brushwork and intricate illumination make it an invaluable treasure within continental pictures.
