EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th-century illuminated manuscript page, hailing from the Codex of Predis housed in the Royal Library of Turin, Italy, captures a pivotal moment in Christian history: the calling of James of Zebedee and his brother John to follow Jesus. The scene is set against a serene coastal landscape, with the red-robed figures of the brothers engaged in their occupation as fishermen, mending their nets beside their boat. In the distance, the figure of Jesus, dressed in a simple white robe and sandals, stands on the shore, bearded and with an aureole around his head, signifying his divine nature. As he speaks to the brothers, his words radiate an aura of authority and conviction, drawing them away from their previous lives to embark on a journey that would forever change the course of history. The intricate details of the illustration, from the flowing folds of the robes to the delicate patterns of the sandals, are a testament to the artistic mastery of the medieval Renaissance period.
