EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pastoral scene from the Eclogues by Virgil, dating back to 1472-73. Created on vellum by the talented artists of the Netherlandish School in the 15th century, this manuscript is a true masterpiece. The image depicts an idyllic rural landscape with a shepherd at its center, accompanied by his faithful dog and holding a crook in hand. The illumination work on this piece is truly remarkable, as every detail seems to come alive with vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The illuminated poem transports us back in time to ancient Rome when these verses were written between 42-37 BC. The shepherd's walking stick or cane adds an element of authenticity to the scene, emphasizing his role as a caretaker of nature and protector of his flock. This serene countryside setting evokes feelings of tranquility and simplicity, reminding us of the beauty found within nature's embrace. We are grateful for the kind permission granted by the Earl of Leicester and Trustees of Holkham Estate that allows us to appreciate this extraordinary artwork. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, let it serve as a reminder that even centuries later, art has an incredible power to transport us into different worlds and evoke emotions that transcend time itself.
