The 14th century, also known as the c14th, was a period of great artistic and historical significance. It witnessed the creation of remarkable works that continue to captivate us today. One such masterpiece is "The Creation, " a reproduction from the Sarajevo Haggadah. This vibrant color lithograph showcases the divine act of bringing life into existence, reminding us of our origins and the power of creation. In another encounter depicted in art, we witness Robert Bruce facing Sir Henry de Bohun. This momentous event captures the courage and determination displayed by these medieval warriors during their clash on the battlefield. Moving away from battles, we find ourselves immersed in beauty at The Court of Lions in Alhambra, Granada. Through a colored lithograph from 1853, we are transported to this architectural marvel where elegance meets grandeur. Art takes various forms in this era; one example is "Madonna with a Rose Bush. " Painted on canvas with oil pigments, it portrays motherly love intertwined with religious symbolism—a timeless representation that continues to inspire devotion. Delving into history through reconstructed wall paintings brings forth figures like Thomas Woodstock and John of Gaunt. These noble personalities alongside St. George remind us of their influence during an age marked by chivalry and honor. A glimpse into royalty reveals Isabelle of France—Queen consort to King Edward I—in an engraving dating back to the 19th century. Her regal presence emanates grace and poise while offering insight into royal alliances forged across Europe's dynasties. Religious tapestries also hold significant meaning within this period; one such example is the Apocalypse Tapestry or Apocalypse of Angers (1375-80). Its intricate details depict biblical scenes that serve as reminders for reflection on faith and humanity's destiny. Shifting focus towards academia, New College Oxford emerges as an emblematic institution through an engraving from 1675.
