EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning medieval artwork titled "Devotions for morning and evening, from the Prayer Book of Alfonso V of Aragon". Created in 1442 by the Spanish School, this tempera on vellum masterpiece is currently held in a private collection. The image transports us to an intimate setting within a castle's interior. A regal figure, identified as Alfonso V of Aragon, is depicted kneeling before his confessor in his bedroom chamber. The monarch appears deep in prayer and contemplation as he seeks solace and guidance from his spiritual advisor. The scene exudes an aura of royalty and devotion with its intricate murals, tapestries, and gothic-inspired furnishings. A grand canopy bed serves as the backdrop for this sacred moment between ruler and confessor. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into the personal life of King Alfonso the Magnanimous (1396-1458), known for his wisdom and benevolence. It reminds us that even those who hold great power seek solace through faith. This photograph not only captures the beauty of medieval manuscript artistry but also invites us to reflect on our own spiritual journeys. It serves as a reminder that regardless of our status or position in society, moments spent seeking inner peace are invaluable treasures worth cherishing.
