{"product_id":"spitz-master-the-flight-into-egypt-illuminated-manuscript-print","title":"Spitz Master — The Flight into Egypt | Illuminated Manuscript Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Virgin, in a deep blue mantle edged with gold, rides a grey donkey with the child in her arms while Joseph, in a rose robe and red hat, walks at its head. Behind a hill helmeted soldiers crowd under lances and a red banner; a walled town of pink towers stands at the right, and a bearded figure looks down from a red glory in the starry sky. In the border of gold leaves and bright acanthus, men with a sickle and a scythe work beside mounted soldiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe miniature opens Vespers in the Hours of the Virgin. In the border the illuminator added the Miracle of the Wheat Field, an apocryphal legend: wheat sown as the Holy Family passed grew to full height overnight, so the pursuing soldiers, told the family had gone by at sowing time, gave up the chase. The museum notes how the soldiers' outsized heads above the horizon add to the sense of danger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: a leaf from a book of hours, tempera colours, gold and ink, made in Paris about 1420; J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Spitz Master is the name scholars give an illuminator working in France in the first quarter of the fifteenth century, after a book of hours once owned by the Spitz family and now in the J. Paul Getty Museum. He worked in the circle of the Limbourg brothers, painters of the Très Riches Heures for the duc de Berry, borrowing compositions from their books, and was probably one of the many travelling artists in the French workshops of the time. His miniatures share the courtly elegance of the International style but have a playful, intimate character of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order. Unframed prints are made on Hahnemühle German Etching, a 310gsm matte fine-art paper.
