EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from Book IV of "Antiquitates Judaicae" by Flavius Josephus. The artwork, created by the French School in the 16th century, depicts a significant event known as the Fight of the Hebrews with the Canaanites without the consent of Moses and their subsequent defeat. The scene comes to life on vellum, showcasing intricate details and vibrant colors that bring depth and emotion to this historical moment. Commissioned by Cardinal Georges d'Amboise, Archbishop of Rouen for his esteemed library at Château de Gaillon, this masterpiece is a testament to Jean Pichore's exceptional talent as a manuscript illuminator. Every element in this composition has been carefully crafted - from Pichore's mesmerizing miniatures to Jean Serpin's skillful work on the decorative borders. This particular edition of Flavius Josephus' work holds great significance as it provides valuable insights into Jewish history through its 21 volumes. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece housed in Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in ancient history. It serves as a reminder of humanity's struggles and triumphs throughout generations while honoring both artistic mastery and intellectual pursuit.
