EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 8th century, known as "NAL 1203 fol. 1v-2 St. Mark and St. Luke, from the Godescale Gospel". Created by the Carolingian School, this masterpiece measures 31.3x21 cm and is currently housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The artwork depicts two significant figures from early Christianity: St. Mark and St. Luke. The artist skillfully captures their essence through intricate details and vibrant colors on vellum material. Symbolism plays a crucial role here, with each saint represented by their respective animal symbols – a lion for St. Mark and a bull for St. Luke. Commissioned by Charlemagne to commemorate his son Pepin's baptism, this gospel holds immense historical significance as it reflects the religious fervor of that era under Charlemagne's rule. Notable elements within this artwork include Pope Hadrian depicted alongside these evangelists, emphasizing their connection to the papacy during that time period. As we admire this ancient treasure captured beautifully in print form by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate its cultural value and artistic mastery while acknowledging its contribution to our understanding of early Christian history.
