"Cosme: A Journey Through Art and History" Step into the world of Cosme, a name that echoes through time with its rich cultural significance. From illuminated manuscripts to hand-colored prints, from altarpieces to mosaics, this captivating collection of artworks unveils the diverse facets of Cosme's legacy. In the Manuscript Illumination with the Presentation in the Temple in an Initial S, created between 1450-60, we witness exquisite craftsmanship as vibrant colors dance across vellum pages. The Miracle of Berruguete transports us further back in time to experience a momentous event depicted by Pedro Berruguete himself. The Virgin Annunciate captivates our gaze with her ethereal beauty and grace. This painting invites contemplation on divine messages delivered through heavenly messengers. Meanwhile, a panoramic view of Mexico City seen from the Convent of San Cosme takes us on a visual journey through history as we marvel at Currier & Ives' hand-colored print from 1847. The Beheading of St. Cosmas and St. Damian tells a tale both tragic and heroic within its tempera-painted panel predella dating back to c. 1434. Another stunning piece is Ms 450 fol. 1 Miracle of the Black Leg; its delicate vellum whispers stories of miraculous healing. A medieval amputation scene painted with tempera on panel reminds us not only of human suffering but also highlights medical practices throughout history. The Reliquary of St. Cosmas and St. Damian stands as testament to their revered status while Saints Cosmas and Damian before Lysias reveal their unwavering faith portrayed in tempera on panel during 1438-40. An enigmatic Pieta created between 1475-1500 leaves us pondering over its unknown creator yet evokes profound emotions surrounding Christ's sacrifice for humanity's salvation. SS.
