EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Ms. 1581 f. 326v Illustration from Book XVI ( From the Finishing of the Temple by Herod to the Death of Alexander and Aristobulus ), Chapter 1 of the Antiquities of the Jews (Antiquitates Judaicae) by Flavius Josephus - Herod sails to Italy to meet Caesar, c. 1503" takes us back in time to witness a significant historical event. This masterpiece was created by an anonymous French School artist during the 16th century. Commissioned by Cardinal Georges d'Amboise, Archbishop of Rouen, for his esteemed library at Château de Gaillon, this artwork showcases Jean Pichore's exceptional talent as a manuscript illuminator. Pichore's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke and color choice within this illustration. The scene depicted here portrays King Herod embarking on a voyage to Italy with great anticipation as he sets sail to meet Caesar. The composition exudes grandeur and power through its richly adorned borders crafted by Jean Serpin. This image belongs to a larger body of work called "Antiquitates Judaicae" which chronicles Jewish history across 21 volumes written in Greek by Flavius Josephus during the first century AD. This particular edition features Rufinus' fourth-century Latin translation. Housed in Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France, this photograph captures not only an exquisite piece of art but also serves as a gateway into ancient history that continues to fascinate scholars and enthusiasts alike.
