A dramatic Flight into EgyptWithin a bedragoned frame, the curtains part to reveal the Holy Family and their donkey, depicted in confident and colourful style as though in a staged scene.
From Scenes of the Life of Christ preceding a Psalter, Northern English, 3rd quarter of the 12th century.
Epiphany for all agesThe baby Jesus blesses the oldest of the three kings, as the others in middle age and youth stand in line with their gifts, to represent the Three Ages of Man. Beyond the frame, the peacock symbolizes royalty.
From a Book of Hours of the Use of Tournai, Flemish, mid 15th century.
Virgin and ChildWladislas, a young king(?) of the Jagiellonian dynasty of Central Europe, invokes the Virgin and Child, praying later for angels to clarify a crystal so that he may learn all the world’s secrets.
From Wladislas’ prayer-book, a manual of crystal magic, Polish, 15th century.
