EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of deep devotion and spirituality. In the image, we see Ms Lat 18014 Jean de France (1340-1416), also known as Duke of Berry, kneeling in prayer before the elevation of the Host. This scene is taken from Les Petites Heures de Duc de Berry, a manuscript created between 1385 and 1390. The Duke of Berry is depicted with utmost reverence, his hands clasped together in prayer as he bows before the altar. The atmosphere is serene and sacred, enhanced by the soft illumination that bathes the scene. A priest stands beside him, holding up the bread representing the body of Christ during Holy Communion. Every detail in this illuminated miniature speaks to religious significance – from the intricately designed screen behind them to the chalice on top of it. Even a choirboy can be seen nearby, adding an element of innocence and purity to this holy moment. This artwork beautifully encapsulates medieval religious practices and rituals. It serves as a reminder of how faith played such an integral role in daily life during that time period. The artist's skillful use of vellum brings out vibrant colors and intricate details that make this piece truly remarkable. Displayed against a backdrop at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this photograph allows us to appreciate both its historical value and artistic beauty today.
