This stunning print captures a remarkable piece of religious artwork titled "THE CIRCUMCISION". Created between 1546-1564, this illumination is taken from a French Book of Hours, showcasing the artistic brilliance of the Renaissance period.

Intricate details and vibrant colors bring this scene to life as we witness Mary and Joseph presenting their newborn son to a Jewish rabbi for his ritual circumcision. This significant moment symbolizes Jesus' entry into the covenant between God and his chosen people. The fusion of French Christian tradition with Jewish customs in this artwork highlights the cultural diversity prevalent during that era. It serves as a testament to how literature and manuscript illuminations played an essential role in disseminating religious teachings among different communities.

The use of illumination techniques further enhances its visual appeal, making it truly captivating.
