EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning depiction of Saint John the Evangelist, taken from a facsimile copy of the Gospels of Mac Regol. Created by the Irish School in the 9th century, this artwork is an exquisite example of Celtic and Insular artistry. The image portrays Saint John seated, surrounded by intricate knot patterns and interlacing designs that symbolize eternal life and spiritual interconnectedness. The apostle is depicted as a writer, holding a quill in his hand, emphasizing his role as one of the authors of the New Testament. Every detail in this illuminated manuscript exudes ornate beauty and decorative finesse. From the meticulously crafted eagle perched on Saint John's shoulder to the delicate embellishments adorning every corner, it is evident that immense skill went into creating this masterpiece. The Gospels of Mac Regol are also known as The Rushworth Gospels or The Book of Birr. Dating back to around 820 AD, these sacred texts are now housed in Oxford's prestigious Bodleian Library. This particular print belongs to The Stapleton Collection and offers us a glimpse into ancient literature and artistic expression. As we admire this enchanting image, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era where craftsmanship merged seamlessly with spirituality—a testament to human creativity throughout history.
