EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from Ms 352, Livy's "Ab Urbe Condita" dating back to the 15th century. The illuminated initial [C] steals the spotlight with its classicizing red and blue acanthus motifs, beautifully adorning the parchment. Created by an anonymous illuminator from Padua between 1460-1470, this artwork is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of Italian School artists during that era. The page also features a striking gold illustration of weighing scales, possibly symbolizing justice or balance. This intricate design suggests a connection to the Trevisan family of Padua, adding another layer of historical significance to this manuscript. With kind permission from the Earl of Leicester and the Trustees of the Holkham Estate, we are fortunate enough to admire this rare piece of artistry. Its delicate details and vibrant colors transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and cultural importance. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact through Bridgeman Images' lens, it serves as a reminder that art has no expiration date; it continues to inspire generations long after its creation. Let us cherish these glimpses into history and celebrate the talent and dedication behind such masterpieces like Ms 352's illuminated initial [C].
