EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite initial letter "D" from the Epistolae Hieronymus, a collection of letters and tractates by St. Jerome. Created in Mainz on September 7,1470, this stunning piece was edited by Adrianus Brielis and printed by Peter Schoeffer. The artwork itself is a testament to the talent of the German School during the 15th century. Measuring at an impressive size of 47.8x33.2 cm, it features intricate details that transport us back to the early Renaissance period. In this vibrant image, we see a beautifully decorated interior with shades of green dominating the scene. The initial "D" is adorned with gold accents and surrounded by colorful foliate patterns that add depth and texture to the composition. A majestic lion stands proudly beside the initial letter, symbolizing strength and nobility. This harmonious blend of elements creates a visually striking contrast against the bright background. As we delve deeper into this medieval masterpiece, we are reminded of its historical significance as well as its artistic value. The illuminated text within suggests that it was created for scholarly purposes or perhaps even for personal study. Overall, this print captures not only our attention but also our imagination as we marvel at its beauty and contemplate its rich cultural heritage from Northern Renaissance artistry.
