EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing artwork of Ms 62 f. 132v Winged figure in a treetop with book pierced by a sword, from the Hours of the Holy Spirit by Guillaume de Deguillevilles. Created between 1350 and 1417, this masterpiece was crafted by the talented Master of the Rohan Hours. The image depicts a majestic winged figure perched atop a tree, holding an open book that is pierced by a sword. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this medieval scene to life, showcasing the artist's skillful use of ink and gold leaf on parchment. Guillaume de Deguilleville's work, Le Pelerinage de la Vie Humaine (The Pilgrimage of Human Life), serves as inspiration for this illustration. It beautifully captures themes of spirituality and religious devotion through its ornate decoration and symbolic imagery. As we delve into this piece further, we are transported to another time – a world where manuscripts were meticulously created with calligraphy and illuminated borders. This particular page exemplifies the fusion of poetry and visual artistry found within medieval manuscripts. Displayed at Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK, this print invites us to explore not only religious iconography but also the rich cultural heritage preserved within these ancient texts. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with spirituality throughout history.
