EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing medieval manuscript titled "Ms 43-1950 (5v) Christs Temptation, Daniel destroying Bel" from the Speculum Humanae Salvationis. Created by an anonymous Italian School artist in the 14th century, this vellum artwork measures 14.3x19.3 cm and is currently housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK. The image transports us to a world of biblical narratives and mythical creatures as it depicts two significant events: Christ's Temptation and Daniel's triumph over Bel, the Babylonian deity. In one scene, we witness Jesus resisting Satan's enticing offers with fortitude and strength while being surrounded by a menacing dragon-like creature symbolizing evil. In another part of the manuscript, we see Daniel courageously destroying Bel within a cavernous dwelling deep in the wilderness. This illustration beautifully captures his unwavering faith as he resists feeding poison to this monstrous creature associated with false gods. The illuminated details throughout this artwork are truly remarkable; they bring life to both these ancient stories and their mystical settings. The artist skillfully combines elements of religious symbolism with imaginative imagery to create an engaging visual narrative that continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this historical gem for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty and significance today.
