EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illuminated page is taken from the Codex of Predis, a 15th-century manuscript created in Italy during the Renaissance period. The scene depicted here is the moment when Jesus goes to Gethsemane, a garden at the foot of Mount Olivet, to pray before his impending arrest and crucifixion. As Jesus prays, he is confronted by a man possessed by the devil. The man is shown chained to a large stone, his body contorted in torment, with the devil emerging from his chest. The Apostles Peter and John, who accompanied Jesus, are shown in the background, huddled together in a boat on the tranquil sea. The landscape is beautifully rendered with lush vegetation, a clear sky, and a serene boat gliding on the water. The use of gold leaf and intricate details in the miniature illustration underscores the sacred nature of the scene and the importance of the story in Christian tradition. The Codex of Predis is a testament to the artistic and religious achievements of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and continues to captivate viewers with its stunning visual storytelling.
