EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illuminated initial "E" from the Franco-Flemish Bute Master, who was active between 1260 and 1290. The artwork originates from northeastern France and dates back to around 1270-1280. Created using tempera colors, gold, and iron gall ink on parchment, this piece measures approximately 17 x 11.9 cm (6 11/16 x 4 11/16 in. ). The focal point of this intricate illumination is Christ holding a crown and flail, symbolizing his divine authority and power. The delicate brushwork and meticulous attention to detail bring the figure of Christ to life with a sense of grace and majesty. The vibrant colors used in this artwork add depth and richness to the composition while the shimmering gold accents enhance its overall splendor. The use of iron gall ink on parchment further highlights the artist's skillful technique. This remarkable leaf offers us a glimpse into medieval religious artistry, showcasing both technical mastery and spiritual symbolism. It serves as a testament to the talent of the Franco-Flemish illuminators during that period. As part of Liszt Collection's vast array of historical artworks, this print captures not only the beauty but also the cultural significance behind such masterpieces.
