EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 16th century - a Leaf Psalter Prayerbook Calendar Page Peasant. The leaf, measuring 16.6 x 13.5 cm, is believed to have originated in Germany, possibly Hildesheim. Created using ink, tempera, and liquid gold on vellum, this exquisite work of art exemplifies the skill and craftsmanship of its time. The recto side of the leaf features a striking depiction of a peasant amidst lush greenery. With intricate details and vibrant colors, the artist has beautifully captured the essence of rural life during that era. On the verso side lies another calendar page adorned with scenes depicting various labors. What makes this particular artwork even more intriguing is that it consists of three excised leaves from a larger psalter and prayerbook collection dating back to 1524. This historical context adds depth and significance to this stunning piece. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to an era where religious texts were meticulously crafted by skilled hands. The use of liquid gold highlights further emphasizes its importance as both an artistic creation and spiritual artifact. The Liszt Collection has once again provided us with an extraordinary glimpse into our rich cultural heritage through this magnificent image capture.
