EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century print depicts Saint Luke, the patron saint of artists, writers, and butchers. The image, believed to be from France, showcases the artist's mastery of technique and attention to detail. Saint Luke is depicted as an elderly man, holding a pen and a quill knife in one hand, and a book in the other. The book is open, revealing the Gospel of Luke, which he is said to have authored. The border of the print is adorned with intricate floral designs and calligraphy, adding to the overall beauty and elegance of the piece. The use of gold leaf adds a sense of grandeur and importance to the image. This print is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the fifteenth century, a time when illuminated manuscripts were highly prized for their decorative and liturgical value. The figure of Saint Luke, with his pen and book, symbolizes the importance of literature, learning, and the arts in Christian culture. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, Christianity, or the beautiful decorative arts of the Middle Ages. On display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., this print is a reminder of the enduring legacy of the past and the importance of preserving and appreciating our artistic and cultural heritage.
