EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art: a leaf excised from a Book of Hours, specifically depicting The Nativity. Created around 1480 by the talented Master of the First Prayerbook of Maximillian, a Flemish artist active during the late 15th and early 16th centuries, this miniature masterpiece is an exquisite example of medieval illumination. Measuring just 10.8 x 8.2 cm (4 1/4 x 3 1/4 in. ), this delicate leaf is adorned with intricate details rendered in ink, tempera, and liquid gold on vellum. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork bring to life the sacred scene of Christ's birth. The artist's skillful use of gold accents adds an ethereal glow to Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus as they are surrounded by angels and shepherds paying homage. Every stroke reveals the devotion poured into this devotional artwork. Preserved through time, this fragment invites us to marvel at its craftsmanship while offering glimpses into religious practices during the Renaissance period. It serves as a testament to both artistic talent and spiritual reverence that was highly valued in medieval Europe. As we contemplate this Leaf Excised Book Hours Nativity print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only a significant biblical event but also appreciate the mastery behind its creation—an enduring testament to human creativity across centuries.
