EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 15th century manuscript Breviary 469 transports us to France, where we witness a stunning miniature illustration known as "The Flight into Egypt". The ornate and intricate details of this illuminated manuscript, specifically found on folio 70, showcase the remarkable artistry of the time. In this scene, we see an abundance of characters and elements that bring the story to life. The central figures are Joseph and Virgin Mary, who kneel in reverence before a gate. They are accompanied by Jesus Christ, depicted as a baby boy cradled in Mary's arms. A large group of people surrounds them, creating a sense of community and support. A donkey stands nearby with its rider while medium-sized animals add further depth to the composition. The architecture surrounding them is grand and majestic, featuring floral patterns that enhance its beauty. Capital letters adorn the text throughout the manuscript. This artwork captures an important moment from the New Testament narrative when Joseph leads his family into Egypt for safety. It serves as both an illustration and painting within this exquisite piece of art. The style reflects typical characteristics of 15th-century manuscripts with Latin script incorporated seamlessly into every detail. This print provides us with a glimpse into history—a testament to human creativity through centuries past—allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its cultural significance.
