EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms Hunter 36 f. 36v Christs genealogy from Adam, from Ludolphus of Saxonys Life of Christ" showcases a remarkable piece of art created by the French School in the 15th century. Housed in Glasgow University Library, Scotland, this exquisite tempera on vellum painting is a detailed representation of Christ's genealogy from Adam. The focal point of the image features an elderly man peacefully asleep on his right side. He wears a cap and a girdled gown adorned with brown and gold hues, complemented by an ermine cape and mantle lined with slate and gold. The man lies on a bed placed against the backdrop of a serene landscape. What makes this artwork truly intriguing is the serpentine tree stem emerging from the man's side. This unique element bifurcates into two branches that bear nine figures dressed similarly to crowned kings and others. These figures emerge from lily-shaped flowers blooming along the branches. The composition culminates with two significant figures at each branch's end: Saint Joseph and the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus. Symbolizing Christ's lineage through generations, this intricate artwork beautifully captures both religious symbolism and artistic craftsmanship. Preserved within eUniversity of Glasgow Library, this photograph allows viewers to appreciate every minute detail while providing insight into medieval French artistry during that period.
