EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from Book V of Flavius Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews. Created by the French School in the 16th century, this artwork is a testament to the skill and creativity of manuscript illuminators during that era. The scene depicted in this illustration is from Chapter 1, where Joshua, the Commander of the Hebrews, engages in a fierce battle with the Canaanites. The artist has masterfully captured this intense moment on vellum, using vibrant colors and intricate details to bring it to life. Commissioned by Cardinal Georges d'Amboise for his château library in Gaillon, this piece was entrusted to Jean Pichore, one of Paris' most renowned manuscript illuminators at that time. Pichore's talent shines through every stroke as he meticulously crafted each miniature within this edition. The borders surrounding the central image are adorned with decorative elements expertly created by Jean Serpin. These ornate designs add an extra layer of beauty and elegance to an already stunning composition. Antiquitates Judaicae is a monumental work chronicling Jewish history across 21 volumes written by Flavius Josephus himself during his lifetime (c. 37-c. 100 AD). This particular edition features Rufinus' Latin translation from the fourth century. Preserved at Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France, this photograph captures not just a historical masterpiece but also pays homage to centuries-old artistic traditions that continue to inspire awe today.
