EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork of Master Hugo, specifically his portrayal of Elkanah from the St. Eadmundsbury Bible dating back to c1135. The Bury Bible was commissioned by Herveus, a sacrist of Bury St Edmunds, an esteemed Benedictine monastery in England renowned for its wealth. In this image, we see Elkanah depicted as a male figure within an interior setting that exudes religious significance. His attire reflects the fashion and style prevalent during the 11th and 12th centuries. Clad in a magnificent cloak, Elkanah stands tall with an air of authority and wisdom. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; capturing not only the physical appearance but also conveying a sense of spirituality through this portrait. This piece invites viewers to delve into the rich history and symbolism associated with Christianity. Through this photograph print curated by Herbert Norris for Costume & Fashion Volume Two: Senlac to Bosworth 1066-1485, we are transported back in time to appreciate both the artistic mastery of Master Hugo and gain insight into medieval dress and culture. As we gaze upon Elkanah's visage, it prompts us to ponder our own connection with religion and spirituality while marveling at how art can transcend time itself.
