EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of medieval religious art with its intricate details and vibrant colors. The image, titled "MS 39-1950 f. 26r The Annunciation and Annunciation to the Shepherds" is a gold, silver, and colored ink masterpiece on parchment created by the French School in the 15th century. Displayed at the Fitzwilliam Museum in the University of Cambridge, UK, this artwork is part of a Book of Hours (Use of Paris) written in Latin but also includes Fifteen Joys and Seven Requests in French. It was most likely commissioned for the wedding of Louis of Anjou, Bastard of Maine, and Anne de la Tremoille in 1464. The composition showcases an interior scene featuring archangel Gabriel announcing to Mary that she will give birth to Jesus. Surrounding them are beautifully illuminated scrolls adorned with delicate architectural elements characteristic of Gothic art. In another section, shepherds gather around their flock as angels appear before them to announce Christ's birth. This print not only highlights the artistic skill employed by medieval scribes but also serves as a window into Christian iconography during that era. It offers viewers a glimpse into religious devotion through its depiction of key biblical events such as the Annunciation and Nativity. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this exquisite piece from Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and historical significance even if we cannot witness it firsthand at the museum itself.
