EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases Ms 130, a remarkable manuscript titled "Domenico Cavalca, Vite dei Santi Padri". Created in the year 1468 by an anonymous illuminator from Modena, Italy, this exquisite piece of art is a true testament to the craftsmanship of the 15th century. The image captures the very first page of the manuscript and highlights two distinct features. Firstly, we are drawn to the pen-flourished initial that adorns the page with its intricate details and delicate strokes. This decorative element immediately captivates our attention and sets the tone for what lies within. Secondly, we observe a beautiful example of a Gothic hybrida hand used throughout the text. The elegant calligraphy adds depth and sophistication to every word written on this aged paper. It serves as a reminder of how skilled scribes meticulously crafted each letter during this period. This rare artifact is part of an esteemed collection owned by none other than The Earl of Leicester and entrusted to The Trustees of Holkham Estate. Thanks to their kind permission, we have been granted access to witness firsthand this stunning representation of Italian artistry. As we gaze upon this photograph print captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, it transports us back in time – immersing us in an era where beauty was painstakingly created stroke by stroke. This visual masterpiece stands as a testament to human creativity and dedication that has transcended centuries.
