EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an exquisite illumination from the 15th-century manuscript of the Tres Riches Heures of Jean, Duke of Berry. The artwork depicts a profound biblical scene known as "The Visitation" capturing a momentous encounter between two holy women - the Virgin Mary and her cousin Elizabeth. Immersed in rich hues and intricate details, this medieval masterpiece transports us back to a time when handwritten manuscripts were treasured works of art.
