EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to 15th century France, where the art of illumination flourished. The image showcases a stunning miniature from the manuscript Breviary 469, specifically folio 56. It depicts a scene known as "The Annunciation to the Shepherds" from the Book of Hours. In this ornate and intricately detailed artwork, we see shepherds sitting amidst a lush floral pattern, their eyes turned upwards in awe and wonder. Text surrounds them, adding depth and context to the scene. An angel hovers above them, delivering an important message with grace and elegance. The abundance of sheep surrounding the men adds authenticity to this biblical moment captured on paper centuries ago. The vertical frame emphasizes the grandeur of this illustration while transporting us into its world. As we delve deeper into this masterpiece, we are reminded of its significance within religious history - it is inspired by events described in the New Testament. Moreover, it highlights not only human figures but also a large group of animals that were integral to daily life during that era. Every brushstroke reveals meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship typical of 15th-century style. From capital letters adorning each page to Latin script gracefully woven throughout, this illuminated manuscript truly stands as a testament to both artistry and devotion
