EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and significance of the "Entry of King David into Jerusalem to the sound of trumpets". Taken from the Visigothic-Mozarabic Bible of St. Isidore, this 10th-century masterpiece showcases the Spanish School's exceptional talent. The illuminated manuscript, known as Biblia de Leon, is a true rarity among medieval manuscripts. Its completion date can be precisely traced back to June 19,960 at the Monastery of Valeranica. The names of its copyists, Florencio and Sancho, along with its miniaturist, are also recorded. Intricately detailed and meticulously crafted on vellum, this biblical scene depicts King David's triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The vibrant colors and skillful brushstrokes bring life to every element: from the majestic figure of King David himself to the awe-inspiring architecture in the background. Notably, this Mozarabic bible contains all books from both Old and New Testaments. It features marginal annotations in Latin as well as Arabic script—an intriguing testament to cultural exchange during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, it serves not only as a visual delight but also as a historical treasure—a testament to human creativity across time. Let us marvel at how art has preserved moments like these for generations to come.
