EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historiated initial A depicting St. Benedict offering his soul to God the Father. Created by the Lombardy School, this masterpiece measures 26.2x18 cm and is housed in the prestigious Musee Marmottan Monet in Paris, France. The image captures Saint Benedict deep in prayer, as he humbly presents his soul to God. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the brush, bringing out the serene expression on St. Benedict's face and capturing the essence of his devotion. St. Benedict, known as the founder of western monasticism, is depicted here wearing his traditional habit that symbolizes his commitment to a life of simplicity and discipline. This portrayal reflects not only St. Benedict's personal journey but also represents an important period in medieval history when monks played a crucial role in shaping society. The manuscript itself holds significant historical value and belongs to Master of the Vitae Imperatorum - a renowned Italian artist who flourished between 1431-59. Its inclusion within Wildenstein No 45 further adds to its prestige. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate both its artistic brilliance and its depiction of faith and spirituality during the Renaissance era.
