EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from Book XI of the Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus. Created in the 16th century by a talented French School artist, this artwork is found in the Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France. The scene depicted in this illustration portrays a significant moment in history - how Cyrus, King of the Persians, liberated the Jewish people from Babylon and allowed them to return to their homeland. The attention to detail and vibrant colors bring this ancient tale to life. Commissioned by Cardinal Georges d'Amboise for his château's library at Gaillon, this masterpiece was crafted by Jean Pichore, one of Paris' most renowned manuscript illuminators during that era. The intricate borders surrounding the image were skillfully designed by Jean Serpin. Flavius Josephus' Antiquitates Judaicae is a monumental work comprising 21 volumes chronicling Jewish history. This particular edition features Rufinus' fourth-century Latin translation. It serves as a testament to both historical events and artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back through time - witnessing Cyrus' benevolence towards the Jewish people and their subsequent journey back home. This remarkable piece not only captures our imagination but also reminds us of humanity's enduring quest for freedom and cultural preservation throughout centuries past.
