EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history captured on vellum. Titled "MS CCC 157 p. 383 The visions dreamt by King Henry I in Normandy in 1130" this image is extracted from the Worcester Chronicle, which was meticulously crafted between 1130 and 1140. The artwork depicts an extraordinary moment when King Henry I of England experienced vivid dreams during his time in Normandy. Created by the talented English School in the 12th century, this illustration is one of the earliest surviving chronicle illustrations known to us today. Intriguingly, we see King Henry I peacefully sleeping aboard a boat as he embarks on his visionary journey. Surrounding him are clergy members and rulers who accompany him on this ethereal voyage across the sea. The wind gracefully guides their vessel while waves gently rock it, symbolizing both tranquility and anticipation. Notably, a bishop stands prominently at the helm with his hand firmly grasping the rudder, signifying guidance and leadership during these mystical visions. The figurehead adorning the bow adds an element of regality to this scene, emphasizing King Henry's royal status. Preserved within Corpus Christi College at Oxford University in the United Kingdom, this mesmerizing manuscript transports viewers back to medieval times. It serves as a testament to both artistic prowess and historical significance that continues to captivate audiences today through Bridgeman Images' fine art reproduction.
