EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Ms. 1581 f. 154 Illustration from Book VIII ( From the Death of David to the Death of Ahab ), Chapter 1 of the Antiquities of the Jews ( Antiquitates Judaicae ) by Flavius Josephus - How Solomon, when he had received the kingdom, destroyed his enemies, c. 1503" transports us back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. Created by an anonymous French School artist during the 16th century, this masterpiece is housed in Bibliotheque Mazarine, Paris. Commissioned by Cardinal Georges d'Amboise for his esteemed library at Château de Gaillon, this artwork showcases Jean Pichore's exceptional talent as a manuscript illuminator. Pichore's intricate miniatures bring Flavius Josephus' monumental work to life with vivid detail and artistic finesse. In this particular illustration from Book VIII, we are immersed in a scene depicting Solomon's ascent to power and subsequent triumph over his adversaries. The richly decorated borders crafted by Jean Serpin further enhance our visual experience. Flavius Josephus' "Antiquitates Judaicae" written between 37-100 AD and translated into Latin by Rufinus in the fourth century, serves as an invaluable historical account spanning 21 volumes about Jewish civilization. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured beautifully by Bridgeman Images through their lens, we are reminded of how art has preserved our past and continues to inspire generations with its timeless beauty and narrative prowess.
