1170 17 1 Black Ink Eagle Gold Leaf Initial I Pontigny Saint John Parchment
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite medieval artwork known as "Initial I: Saint John as the Eagle". Created around 1170 in Pontigny, France, this masterpiece is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of its anonymous artist. The intricate details are brought to life through the use of pen and black ink, tempera, and gold leaf on parchment. The focal point of this piece is the letter "I" which serves as both an initial and a representation of Saint John. Depicted in stunning detail, Saint John takes on the form of an eagle, symbolizing his divine connection with heaven. The artist's meticulous brushstrokes bring out every feather and contour with precision. Measuring approximately 43.5 by 31.4 cm (17 1/8 by 12 3/8 inches), this leaf from a larger manuscript captivates viewers with its rich colors and shimmering gold accents. Its smaller size allows for close examination of each delicate stroke while still providing an overall sense of grandeur. The Liszt Collection has expertly reproduced this remarkable artwork into a high-quality print that captures all its beauty and intricacy. This caption emphasizes that it is not associated with any commercial use but rather aims to celebrate the historical significance and artistic brilliance behind this extraordinary piece from Pontigny, France in 1170.
