EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ms 351.3 Livy, Ab Urbe Condita, a manuscript from the 15th century. The illuminated incipit page is adorned with a stunning full foliate border and an intricate illuminated initial [M] containing putti. Created by the Master of the Naples Virgil, this masterpiece is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the time. The richly detailed historiated border features birds, putti, and portrait medallions that add depth and beauty to the composition. Notably, in the lower central medallion, there is a shield of arms representing the Capponi Family of Florence. The scribe responsible for this remarkable work has been identified as Gianfrancesco Marzi of San Gimignano. His skilled craftsmanship can be seen in every stroke on this parchment manuscript. Thanks to kind permission from the Earl of Leicester and Trustees of Holkham Estate, we are fortunate enough to witness this extraordinary piece today. It offers us a glimpse into Italian art history during one of its most significant periods. As we admire this photograph print captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical value. This artwork serves as a reminder that creativity knows no bounds and continues to inspire generations even centuries later.
