EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Marlay Cutting Italian 33, a collection of eight strips of border taken from a missal belonging to Pope Clement VII. Created after 1523, these delicate pieces are made from parchment and were carefully preserved at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK. The intricate details within this artwork are truly mesmerizing. Adorned with decorative elements such as coats of arms, angels, and cherubs, each strip tells its own story. The margins feature meticulously drawn manuscripts and mottos that add an air of elegance to the overall composition. One cannot help but be drawn to the central motif: a skull surrounded by ornate decorations. This symbolizes death and serves as a reminder of life's transient nature. The inclusion of papal crests and Medici emblems further emphasizes the significance and historical context behind this piece. The Renaissance influence is evident in every stroke; it is clear that Raymond Vincent was a master craftsman who poured his heart into creating these stunning borders. The attention to detail is remarkable - even down to the smallest bird or skeleton intricately woven into the design. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to an era where artistry knew no bounds. It serves as a testament to human creativity and reminds us that beauty can be found even in unexpected places like missals once owned by influential figures like Pope Clement VII.
