EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Circumcision of Christ" an exquisite illumination from a Flemish Book of Hours dating back to the 16th century. The image depicts a significant moment in Christian history, as Jesus undergoes the sacred ritual of circumcision. In this Renaissance-era artwork, we see Jesus surrounded by divine symbolism and religious figures. His mother, the Virgin Mary, stands beside him with a tender expression on her face, while an angel hovers above them both. The halo encircling Jesus' head signifies his divinity and holiness. The attention to detail is remarkable, with delicate flowers adorning the scene and a butterfly fluttering nearby—a symbol often associated with resurrection and transformation in Christianity. The presence of a rabbi emphasizes the Jewish roots of Christianity, highlighting its connection to ancient traditions. This illumination serves as a visual reminder that Jesus was born into Judaism before becoming central to Christian faith. As part of manuscript illumination—an art form prevalent during medieval times—this piece not only conveys religious devotion but also demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship and artistic skill. With its rich historical context and intricate design elements, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the spiritual significance and aesthetic beauty captured within this Flemish masterpiece.
