EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medieval art, titled "Matthew and the representatives of the twelve tribes of Israel". Created by an anonymous artist around 1180, this painting is a part of the Gospels formerly known as Dresden Ms. A 94. Preserved in the esteemed collection of Russian State Archives of Ancient Documents (RGADA), it offers a glimpse into Jewish life and biblical history. The artwork depicts Matthew, one of the four evangelists, surrounded by representatives from each tribe of Israel. With intricate details and vibrant colors painted on parchment using watercolor techniques, this illuminated manuscript stands as a testament to fine artistry. As we explore this masterpiece further, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its significance within Judaism. The presence of Torah scrolls and references to Old Testament stories emphasize the deep connection between God's chosen people and their sacred texts. Through this illuminated art piece, we can delve into ancient times when Jewish identity was rooted in tribal affiliations. It serves as a visual representation that bridges past with present—a reminder that these twelve tribes played an integral role in shaping both historical events and contemporary Jewish culture. Let us appreciate this extraordinary work for its historical importance, meticulous craftsmanship, and ability to transport us back to an era where faith intertwined with artistic expression.
