EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Nativity scene, a significant moment in Christian tradition, from a facsimile of the Breviary of King Philip II of Spain. Created in 1569 on parchment by Julian Fuente del Saz and Andres de Leon, this exquisite artwork is now part of a private collection. The image depicts the Holy Family surrounded by celestial beings. The Virgin Mary tenderly cradles baby Jesus while Joseph stands protectively beside them. Above them hovers an angel with outstretched wings, radiating divine light upon the newborn child. Cherubs and putti fill the air, adding to the ethereal atmosphere. The artist's mastery is evident in every detail: from the delicate brushwork to the vibrant blue hues that dominate the composition. This mannerist style reflects elements of both Renaissance and illuminated manuscript artistry. Originally housed at Biblioteca Monasterio El Escorial in Madrid, this breviary holds great historical and religious significance for Spain's monarchs. It serves as a testament to their devotion to Christianity during King Philip II's reign (1527-1598). This print captures not only a beautiful piece of art but also invites contemplation on themes such as faith, love, and divine intervention. It reminds us of the enduring power and beauty found within religious traditions throughout history.
