EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite late 15th century illustration, created by the Jean Poyet Workshop of Jean Poyer, depicts the holy family of Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus in a peaceful and intimate setting. The scene takes place in a stable, with cows and asses grazing in the background, reflecting the humble origins of the Nativity story. The posture and gestures of Joseph and Mary convey a deep sense of reverence and prayer, as they gaze upon their newborn child, the Son of God. The image is from a Book of Hours, a popular form of devotional literature during the Renaissance period in Europe and later in the Americas. The illustration is rendered in ink, paint, and gold on parchment, with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring the scene to life. The use of red velvet as a modern binding material adds an air of luxury and preservation to this precious work of art. The image captures the essence of the Infancy of Christ, a concept central to Christian theology and literature. The figures are depicted with a sense of realism and humanity that makes them relatable and endearing to viewers, despite their divine status. The image is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the fifteenth century and the enduring influence of the Christian faith on Western art and culture.
