EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from Ms 389, a manuscript containing Cicero's orations and other works. The illuminated initial [Q] immediately draws the viewer's attention with its intricate interlaced strapwork decoration. Positioned at the bottom of the page is a shield bearing partially erased arms, supported by two ancient breastplates adorned with helmets. Created in Padua during the third quarter of the 15th century, this masterpiece reflects the skill and artistry of an anonymous illuminator from that period. The Trevisan family of Padua is associated with these arms displayed on the shield. The photograph captures every delicate detail on parchment, preserving this historical artifact for generations to come. With kind permission from both the Earl of Leicester and Trustees of the Holkham Estate, we are fortunate to have access to this remarkable piece. As we delve into Cicero's profound writings through this image, we are transported back in time to an era where manuscripts were meticulously crafted by hand. This fifteenth-century work represents not only a literary treasure but also serves as a testament to human creativity and dedication. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in capturing fine art pieces like this one, we can appreciate and study these invaluable cultural artifacts without any commercial implications.
