EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Manuscript Illumination with Scenes of Easter in an Initial A, from an Antiphonary, dating back to the 14th century. Created by Italian artist Neri da Rimini, this masterpiece depicts a pivotal moment in Christianity's history. The image captures the essence of Easter as women approach the tomb of Jesus with intentions to anoint his body. However, their expectations are shattered when they discover an angel standing guard at the empty tomb. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this biblical scene to life on parchment. Neri da Rimini's skillful use of gold and tempera adds a touch of grandeur to this illuminated manuscript. The golden hues beautifully complement the richly decorated initial A and Latin text that accompany the illustration. This photograph provides us with a close-up view of one section within this remarkable artwork.
