EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century illuminated manuscript print showcases the biblical tale of Jonah and the Whale, found in the Bible of Jean XXII. Crafted by an anonymous French artist, this vellum artwork is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the time. The scene depicts Jonah being swallowed whole by a massive whale, its jaws wide open as it engulfs him amidst crashing waves. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this dramatic moment to life, capturing both the terror and awe-inspiring nature of this biblical event. Jonah, known as a prophet in religious texts, finds himself trapped within the belly of this majestic sea creature. However, his journey does not end there. As we explore further into this narrative, we discover that he eventually escapes from his watery prison when he is spat out onto dry land. This remarkable print not only serves as a visual representation of an ancient story but also offers us a glimpse into medieval artistry and storytelling techniques. It reminds us how these manuscripts were meticulously crafted to preserve important narratives for future generations. Now housed in Bibliotheque de la Faculte de Medecine in Paris, France; this piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and enduring significance.
