EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures two significant scenes from the life of Joseph, dating back to the 14th century. In the upper portion of the image, we witness Joseph bringing his two sons to his father for a heartfelt blessing. The tender moment showcases the strong bond between generations and highlights the importance of family ties. In contrast, in the lower part of this medieval masterpiece, Joseph is depicted leading his mother and father into Canaan. This religious pilgrimage symbolizes their journey towards spiritual fulfillment and serves as a testament to their unwavering faith. The intricate details and vibrant colors showcased in this illustration are truly mesmerizing. Created by an unknown artist but preserved through time, it now finds its place within the esteemed Queen Mary Psalter produced in England. Through this photo print, we are transported back to a bygone era where religion played a central role in people's lives. It reminds us of the power of blessings bestowed upon loved ones and emphasizes the significance of familial connections that transcend time. As we admire this remarkable piece from George F Warner's collection on illuminated manuscripts at the British Museum, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical value as it offers glimpses into centuries past.
