EDITORS COMMENTS
Master of the Cypresses' Initial I with David (1430s) is a breathtaking example of 15th-century art and literary craftsmanship. This exquisite initial I, taken from a choir book or antiphonary, showcases the artist's mastery of color and decoration. The figure of King David, depicted in profile, sits regally on a throne, his royal robe adorned with intricate gold and blue patterns. The initial letter I, which frames the king, is illuminated with vibrant red and green hues, its edges adorned with delicate, intertwining foliage and cypress trees, a common motif in the artist's work. This illuminated manuscript, created during the fifteenth century, would have been used in a Christian liturgy, possibly for chanting antiphons or hymns. The calligraphy, with its elegant, flowing lines, complements the illustration, adding to the overall beauty and significance of this historic artifact. With its rich heritage and cultural importance, this initial and its accompanying figure of King David are a testament to the artistic and literary achievements of the past, inviting us to explore the depths of Christian history and the splendor of illuminated manuscripts.
