EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning lettrine, specifically the letter "A" which symbolizes the creation of Adam. The artwork is part of the Bible of And. Harding and originates from an unknown artist in the 12th century. It is a miniature found in the manuscript "Treats sur la Trinite de Saint Augustine" from the Abbey of Citeaux. The intricate details and vibrant colors used in this piece are truly remarkable, demonstrating the skill and talent of medieval artists. The lettrine itself serves as a visual representation of one of Christianity's most significant events – the creation of humanity by God. Located in Dijon's Municipal Library, this historical artifact provides us with a glimpse into France's rich religious heritage during the Middle Ages. Its age adds to its allure, reminding us that it has stood witness to centuries' worth of human history. As we admire this photograph, we can't help but marvel at how art transcends time and connects us to our past. It serves as a reminder that even though societies change and evolve over time, certain aspects remain constant – such as faith and spirituality. This image captures not only artistic brilliance but also spiritual significance, making it an invaluable treasure for both art enthusiasts and those interested in exploring religious history.
