EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medieval art, featuring Ms 479 fol. 33 St. Luke from The Gospels of the Abbey of Cysoing. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 12th century, this vellum manuscript is now housed in the Bibliotheque Municipale in Lille, France. In this exquisite illumination, we see St. Luke depicted as a seated figure diligently writing on his scroll with great concentration and devotion. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring, with every stroke of the brush bringing life to this ancient artwork. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns adorning the page demonstrate the skillful craftsmanship that was characteristic of Romanesque art during this period. A majestic bull stands beside St. Luke, symbolizing his role as one of the four evangelists. The ornate decoration surrounding St. Luke adds a sense of grandeur to the composition, emphasizing his importance as a gospel writer and evangelist. This photograph captures not only a historical artifact but also serves as a testament to human creativity and artistic expression throughout time. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty and significance behind these illuminated manuscripts that were once treasured possessions within religious communities. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this extraordinary artwork for all generations to admire and learn from its rich cultural heritage.
