EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of the "Tree of Jesse and Virgin and Child enthroned" from the 12th century. The image depicts a stunning portrayal of religious significance, featuring the Tree of Jesse flanked by Abraham and Moses, while the Virgin Mary and Child are seated on a majestic throne within an architectural framework. At the feet of the Virgin Mary kneels an abbess, believed to be the Abbess of Shaftesbury who commissioned this masterpiece known as the Shaftesbury Psalter. This illuminated manuscript holds great historical value, with its intricate miniatures, borders, and initials beautifully captured in this print. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to each element portrayed - from birds flying gracefully above to babies nestled in their mother's arms. It is a testament to medieval artistry that continues to inspire awe even after centuries have passed. As we admire this piece, we are reminded not only of its artistic brilliance but also its deep religious symbolism. The presence of Abraham and Moses signifies their importance in biblical history while highlighting Jesus' lineage through Jesse's tree. The devotion depicted here reflects humanity's reverence towards Mother Mary as she cradles her divine child. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate Sir George Frederic Warner's meticulous documentation from his book "Illuminated Manuscripts in the British Museum". It serves as a window into our rich cultural heritage, reminding us how art can transcend time and connect us with our past.
