EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable miniature horseman from the manuscript "De Universo" by Rabanus Maurus Magnentius, dating back to the 9th century. The manuscript, also known as "De rerum naturis" or "De la Nature des choses" was created by the German School and is now archived at Monte Cassino Abbey in Italy. The intricate details of this illuminated artwork transport us to the Middle Ages, where knights on horseback were revered symbols of chivalry and bravery. The horseman depicted here exudes strength and valor as he sits atop his majestic steed, armed with a lance and sword. The artist's skillful hand brings life to this miniature masterpiece, capturing every nuance of movement in both rider and mount. The vibrant colors used in this illumination further enhance its visual impact, making it truly mesmerizing. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of an era long gone but not forgotten – an age when horses played a vital role in warfare and daily life. They were not merely animals but trusted companions that carried their riders through battles and journeys alike. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography allows us to appreciate the beauty of this historical artifact up close. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of art to transcend time and connect us with our past.
