EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illuminated manuscript known as the "Book of Hours, folios 13 verso: Salve sancta facies". Created in 1510 by the Master of the Dresden Prayer Book, this exquisite piece measures 19.6x13.2 cm and is currently housed at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK. The focal point of this artwork is Christ as Salvator mundi, depicted holding an orb and bestowing his divine blessing upon all who gaze upon him. The intricate details and delicate use of gold leaf add a touch of opulence to this late Gothic masterpiece. Surrounding Christ are saints nestled within architectural niches, their presence adding depth and symbolism to the composition. Notably, St Veronica with the Vernicle stands out among them, her role in Christian tradition emphasized through her inclusion. The craftsmanship displayed here suggests that possibly it was created by the renowned Flanders artist known as Master of James IV of Scotland or Painter of Add MS 15677; however, it may also be attributed to another talented artist called Master of St Michael. This Netherlandish work exemplifies both religious devotion and artistic excellence prevalent during Northern Renaissance period. Its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors make it an exceptional example within its genre. As we admire this remarkable piece from afar through this print captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and spirituality that permeated medieval manuscripts like these.
