EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Bible scenes from the late 13th century. The intricate artwork depicts four significant moments in biblical history, each with its own profound meaning. The first scene portrays the parable of the labourers in the vineyard, symbolizing the Last Judgement and emphasizing fairness and equality in God's eyes. In contrast, the second scene illustrates the miracle of the ten lepers and highlights the healing power of confession. Moving on, we encounter an episode featuring Zachaeus, representing one's duty to leave worldly pursuits behind and turn towards religion for salvation. Lastly, we witness two disciples sent to fetch an ass and her colt, signifying a stark contrast between Jews and Gentiles. These remarkable illustrations are derived from "Bible Moralisee" a renowned French production during this era. The artist masterfully brings these stories to life through vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. Preserved within this medieval manuscript is not only religious significance but also historical value as it provides insight into Christian beliefs during that time period. This exceptional print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and spiritual devotion; it invites viewers on a journey through biblical narratives while offering glimpses into medieval culture.
