EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the Book of Hours (Use of Utrecht). The image, known as "Nativity" was created between 1460 and 1465 by two talented Netherlandish masters - the Master of Gijsbrecht van Brederode and the Master of the Boston City of God. The intricate details in this work are truly awe-inspiring. Ink, tempera, and gold were skillfully applied on vellum to bring this scene to life. The delicate strokes and vibrant colors beautifully depict the birth of Jesus Christ, surrounded by Mary, Joseph, angels, shepherds, and animals. Not only is the artwork itself mesmerizing but so is its physical presentation. Encased within a brown Morocco binding over original wooden boards, this miniature masterpiece measures just 5.9 x 11.6 cm (2 5/16 x 4 9/16 in. ), making it all the more precious. The Nativity scene holds great significance in Christian tradition as it symbolizes hope and new beginnings. This particular rendition captures that essence perfectly with its meticulous craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we can't help but marvel at how such a small yet extraordinary piece has managed to capture centuries worth of history and devotion within its tiny frame. It serves as a testament to both the artistic talent of these Netherlandish masters and their dedication to preserving religious narratives through their craft.
