EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Ms. 1581 f. 311v Illustration from Book XVI (From the Finishing of the Temple by Herod to the Death of Alexander and Aristobulus), Chapter 1 of the Antiquities of the Jews" takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous French School artist during the 16th century, this masterpiece is housed in Bibliotheque Mazarine, Paris, France. Commissioned by Cardinal Georges d'Amboise, Archbishop of Rouen for his chateau's library at Gaillon, this artwork showcases Jean Pichore's exceptional talent as a manuscript illuminator. Pichore was responsible for almost all of the miniatures featured in Flavius Josephus' renowned work on Jewish history. In this particular illustration, we are transported to a scene where Herod enacts a law aimed at punishing and expelling thieves. The intricate details captured on vellum bring life to this historical event that occurred around 1503. Noteworthy are Jean Serpin's exquisite decorative borders that enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of this piece. Additionally, we can observe heraldic arms representing Henri Arnauld, Bishop of Angers and second owner of this book. Flavius Josephus' Antiquitates Judaicae serves as an invaluable historical account spanning over 21 volumes written in Greek between AD 37-100. This specific edition features Rufinus' fourth-century Latin translation. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder courtesy Bridgeman Images, we cannot help but marvel at its ability to transport us through time and immerse ourselves into ancient narratives with each brushstroke meticulously applied centuries ago.
