EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of "Copies of Illustrations from Ricarts Calendar - The ceremony of swearing in the Mayor of Bristow" by an anonymous English School artist from the 15th century. Held at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, this artwork depicts a significant moment in history. The scene unfolds with a majestic mayor, adorned in ceremonial robes, holding a sword and Bible. Surrounded by a bustling crowd, he stands on an elevated platform as he takes his oath to serve his beloved city. The painting exudes grandeur and reverence, capturing the essence of this important event. The inspiration for this piece stems from Robert Ricart's renowned book called "Kalendar" compiled during the late fifteenth century. As town clerk of Bristol, England, Ricart meticulously documented various aspects of civic life within its pages. Through delicate pencil lines and vibrant watercolors on paper, this illustration transports viewers back to medieval times. It beautifully combines elements of biblical symbolism with historical accuracy to create a truly remarkable work. Thanks to William Jerdone Braikenridge's generous bequest in 1908, we can now marvel at this masterpiece preserved within eBristol Museums' collection. This image is not only visually stunning but also serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations today.
