This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 13th century, known as the "Miniature Excised Psalter Nativity". Created in England, possibly London, around 1270, this miniature excised from a psalter is an exquisite example of medieval craftsmanship. Measuring just 9.5 x 12.2 cm (3 3/4 x 4 13/16 in. ), this delicate artwork is executed on vellum using ink, tempera, and gold. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the iconic scene of the Nativity. The artist's meticulous brushstrokes depict Mary and Joseph gazing adoringly at baby Jesus lying in a humble manger. Surrounding them are angels with outspread wings emanating divine light while shepherds kneel in reverence before the holy family. The use of gold accents adds a touch of opulence to this sacred depiction, symbolizing the heavenly nature of Christ's birth. Despite its small size, this miniature excels in conveying profound emotions and religious devotion through its masterful composition. Preserved over centuries, this artwork now finds itself immortalized as a print within the Liszt Collection. Its inclusion serves as a testament to its enduring beauty and historical significance. Whether displayed for personal enjoyment or educational purposes, this print allows us to appreciate and marvel at the skillful artistry that thrived during medieval times – reminding us of our rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire
