EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing medieval miniature from the famous Pseudo-Aristotle Secretum Secretorum. Created in 1425 by an anonymous artist, it depicts the enigmatic figure of Zoroaster accompanied by two haunting demons. Hailing from a private collection in Italy, this artwork is steeped in rich symbolism and mysticism. The image transports us to a realm where spirits and ghosts roam freely, evoking an eerie ambiance that captivates our imagination. The fine art watercolor on parchment technique employed here adds depth and texture to every stroke, enhancing the overall ethereal quality of the piece. As we delve into this illuminated manuscript, we are drawn into the world of Zoroastrianism – an ancient religion that believed in the eternal battle between good and evil forces. This allegory becomes apparent as Zoroaster stands resolute amidst his demonic companions, representing his unwavering commitment to righteousness despite being surrounded by darkness. The Florentine school's influence is evident through its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors used throughout this medieval masterpiece. It serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during this era of book art. This extraordinary photograph print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites us to explore profound themes such as mythology, spirituality, and literature. A true treasure for any art enthusiast or history buff seeking insight into centuries-old beliefs and traditions.
