EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illumination from the 15th century manuscript of the "Tres Riches Heures" of Jean, Duke of Berry. The artwork depicts a pivotal moment in biblical history - the Garden of Eden: Adam & Eve. In this stunning portrayal, we witness Adam and Eve standing amidst lush greenery, their bodies illuminated by divine light that filters through the trees. Both figures are depicted with remarkable attention to detail, capturing their vulnerability and innocence before succumbing to temptation. The scene captures the essence of Genesis as it narrates humanity's origin story. The serpent, symbolizing evil and deceit, slithers towards Eve while she reaches out for forbidden fruit hanging from a tree branch. This fateful act would lead to their expulsion from paradise. The manuscript illumination not only serves as a visual representation but also reflects the religious beliefs prevalent during medieval times when Christianity played a central role in society. It is fascinating how this artwork transcends time and continues to captivate viewers today. The Tres Riches Heures was created by three brothers known as Limbourg who were commissioned by Jean, Duke of Berry himself. Their collaboration resulted in one of the most renowned books of hours ever produced. This print invites us into a world where literature meets artistry; where spirituality intertwines with creativity; where centuries-old stories continue to inspire awe and contemplation even today.
