1255 1260 Angel Colored Colors John Washes Write Forbidden Mighty Parchment
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable medieval artwork titled "The Mighty Angel and John Forbidden to Write". Created in London, England, around 1255-1260, this masterpiece is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the era. The use of tempera colors, gold leaf, colored washes, pen and ink on parchment brings life to the scene depicted. In this intriguing composition, we witness an ethereal encounter between an angelic figure and John. However, what truly captivates our attention is the forbidden act of writing that unfolds before us. Symbolizing divine intervention or perhaps a sacred revelation being imparted upon John by the mighty angel himself. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke and line present on this 31.9 x 22.5 cm (12 9/16 x 8 7/8 in. ) leaf. The vibrant colors harmoniously blend with delicate gold accents creating an aura of grandeur and spiritual significance. As we gaze at this extraordinary piece from centuries past, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever on parchment. It serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal quest for knowledge and understanding while also highlighting the boundaries imposed upon us by higher powers. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also invites contemplation about our own limitations when it comes to expressing profound truths through words alone - just as John was forbidden from doing so all those years ago in London.
