EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork found in Ms 274 (Y-6) fol. 33, a page from the Missal of Robert of Jumieges dating back to around 1016. Created by an anonymous English artist during the 11th century, this piece is currently housed at Bibliotheque Municipale in Rouen, France. The image depicts two significant biblical scenes: The Annunciation to the Shepherds and the Flight into Egypt. In stunning detail and vibrant colors, we see Archangel Gabriel appearing before a group of shepherds, announcing the birth of Jesus Christ. The shepherds are depicted with awe and wonder on their faces as they receive this divine message. In another part of the image, we witness Joseph leading Mary on a donkey as they flee to Egypt with baby Jesus. This event took place after King Herod ordered all male infants in Bethlehem to be killed. The illumination technique used in this manuscript adds depth and luminosity to each figure portrayed – from angels hovering above to sheep grazing peacefully nearby. Every stroke captures both religious devotion and artistic mastery. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to medieval craftsmanship and storytelling through art. It invites viewers into a world where faith intertwines with history, inviting contemplation about these sacred events that have shaped Christianity for centuries.
