1200s Bible Cleric Parchment Tempera

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 13th century in Italy. The image captures a historiated initial excised from a Bible, depicting St. Paul and a cleric. Created using tempera and gold on parchment, this tiny masterpiece measures only 5 x 4.2 cm (1 15/16 x 1 5/8 in. ), yet it exudes immense detail and beauty. The intricate design of the historiated initial immediately draws the viewer's attention. St. Paul, one of Christianity's most influential figures, is depicted alongside a cleric, symbolizing their spiritual connection and shared devotion to spreading the faith. The delicate brushwork and expert use of gold accents add depth and richness to the scene. This artwork offers us an invaluable glimpse into medieval religious practices and artistic techniques prevalent during that era in Italy. It serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of artists who dedicated countless hours to creating such exquisite pieces. As we admire this print from Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with spirituality throughout history. This small but significant fragment invites us to reflect on our own beliefs while appreciating the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
