EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the crest of a noble family from Benevento, known as the Pedicini. The illuminated page is taken from the Missal referred to as the "Dragone" which is currently housed in the Biblioteca Capitolare in Benevento, Italy. Created by an unknown artist during the 14th-15th century, this exquisite piece of art reflects both Renaissance and Baroque styles. The crest itself stands out prominently on the page, featuring intricate details and vibrant colors. It represents not only a symbol of identity for the Pedicini family but also serves as a testament to their esteemed status within society. Surrounding the crest are various elements that add depth and richness to this masterpiece. Lush vegetation intertwines with angelic figures playing trumpets, creating a harmonious blend between nature and spirituality. The presence of demons adds an intriguing contrast, representing both good and evil forces at play. The craftsmanship exhibited in this illuminated manuscript is truly remarkable. Every stroke of ink brings life to each figure depicted on its pages. The attention to detail extends beyond just human subjects; even trees and botanical elements are meticulously rendered. Through this photograph, we gain insight into not only heraldry but also European fashion trends during that era. It offers us a glimpse into history while showcasing artistic techniques employed during that time period. Overall, this image captures both beauty and historical significance through its depiction of noble crests intertwined with religious symbolism—a true treasure preserved within Benevento's Biblioteca Capitolare.
