EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms 1130 Soul leaving the body accompanied by an angel" transports us back to the 14th century, where we witness a profound moment of transition. Painted on vellum by Barthelemy l Anglais, this miniature from Le Livre des Proprietes des Choses holds deep symbolism and spiritual significance. In this scene, we see the delicate soul departing from its earthly vessel, guided by a celestial angel. The vibrant colors of green and red evoke contrasting emotions - perhaps representing life and death or the duality of existence. As the soul begins its journey into the afterlife, it leaves behind a lifeless corpse that serves as a reminder of mortality. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke captures both beauty and mystery. This image reminds us that there is more to our existence than what meets the eye – there is an ethereal realm beyond our comprehension. Bartholomew Anglicus, whose work inspired this artwork, was known for his encyclopedic knowledge and scholarly pursuits during his time in Paris. His writings explored various aspects of life and nature, including death and spirituality. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece from Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve in Paris, France, we are reminded of our own mortality and encouraged to contemplate what lies beyond this earthly plane. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in death's embrace, there is hope for transcendence into something greater
