EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment from an illustrated book dating back to 1467 in Italy. The scene depicts the offerings of the wise men to Christ and the Virgin Mary, showcasing their reverence for this divine encounter. Created by an anonymous Italian artist from the 15th century, this artwork beautifully portrays a biblical event that has been cherished for centuries. The image showcases three figures, believed to be kings or magi, presenting precious gifts to baby Jesus and his mother Mary. Their expressions are filled with awe and humility as they offer gold, frankincense, and myrrh – symbolic tokens representing wealth, divinity, and mortality respectively. The intricate details of this engraving bring life to each character; their flowing robes adorned with elaborate patterns add a sense of grandeur to the composition. The delicate brushstrokes capture the ethereal beauty surrounding this holy moment. Leonard de Selva's expert photography skillfully preserves every nuance of this historical masterpiece. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also the profound religious significance embedded within these pages. As we gaze upon this enchanting print today, it serves as a reminder of our shared cultural heritage and invites us into contemplation about faith and devotion across time.
