EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Imhof Prayerbook" created in 1511 by Simon Bening, a Flemish artist of the Northern Renaissance. Measuring 9x6.2 cm, this exquisite piece is painted with tempera on vellum and belongs to a private collection. The image captures a momentous scene from the prayer book where St. Longinus, a converted soldier turned saint, speaks the words "vere filius dei erat iste" meaning "truly this man was the son of God". The illustration depicts St. Longinus on horseback, adorned with vibrant yellow and red decorations. He holds his spear while surrounded by delicate floral motifs and butterflies. The manuscript itself is ornately decorated with intricate borders and illustrations throughout its pages. It features depictions of saints, including the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ during the crucifixion. The script is beautifully written in an illuminated style. "The Imhof Prayerbook" offers a glimpse into religious devotion during the Renaissance period through its rich symbolism and meticulous craftsmanship. This particular image highlights both artistic skill and spiritual significance as it portrays an important moment in Christian history. With its historical value and aesthetic beauty, this print serves as a testament to Simon Bening's talent as well as providing insight into religious practices of that era.
