EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th century miniature depicts the biblical episode of Moses and the Burning Bush from the Montmorency Book of Hours. Hailing from France, this masterpiece is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Renaissance period. The scene unfolds with Moses, the Old Testament prophet, standing before the Burning Bush, a miraculous event that marked the beginning of Moses' mission to lead the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery. The bush, ablaze with vibrant flames, remains untouched by the fire, symbolizing the presence of God in the midst of the chaos. Moses, barefoot and humbly dressed, removes his sandals in reverence as he engages in dialogue with the divine being. This miniature, a precious gem from the Montmorency Book of Hours, offers a glimpse into the rich history of biblical art and the profound impact of Judaic and Hebrew traditions on European art during the modern age.
