13th Jesus Psalter Quits Resurrection Slumber Testament Tomb
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 13th century German illuminated manuscript page depicts the momentous event of Jesus' Resurrection as described in the New Testament of the Bible. In this poignant scene, an angel rolls away the stone from the entrance of the tomb, while Jesus, clad in a white robe and with a serene expression, emerges from within. The soldiers, who were stationed outside to guard the tomb, are shown slumbering peacefully, oblivious to the miraculous occurrence unfolding before them. The intricately detailed illustration is taken from a 13th century German Psalter, a type of religious text that contains the Book of Psalms, as well as various prayers and hymns. The illuminated manuscripts in these texts were often richly decorated with gold, silver, and vibrant pigments, reflecting the deep reverence and devotion of the time. This image of Jesus leaving the tomb, also known as the "Quitting of the Tomb," is a powerful reminder of the Resurrection and the triumph of life over death. The peaceful slumber of the soldiers adds an unexpected element of contrast, emphasizing the profound significance of the event and the awe-inspiring power of the divine. The historical and artistic importance of this 13th century German Psalter page makes it a valuable addition to any collection focusing on religious art, European history, or illuminated manuscripts. Its intricate details and rich symbolism continue to captivate and inspire viewers, offering a glimpse into the artistic and spiritual traditions of medieval Europe.
