RMW0GMP3–Karl Parsons' (1927) depiction of Mary and the infant Jesus, St Marys Church, Bibury, Gloucestershire, UK

RM2TBM0CB–Madonna and Child, c1485. In this depiction of a tender moment between Mary and the infant Christ, the figures' human qualities are emphasized, with particular attention paid to rendering their supple flesh and communicating their intimate relationship by means of exchanged glances. The window at the left, opening onto a distant landscape, is a motif derived from contemporary Flemish painting. The deep red curtain patterned with gold hanging behind the Madonna functions as a cloth of honor denoting her status as Queen of Heaven.

RM2YJW6N0–The Presentation in the Temple; Prayer Book of Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, about 1525-1530. Additional Info: Joseph and Mary bring the infant Jesus into the entryway of the Temple, where Simeon, a devout priest of Jerusalem, reaches out to accept the child. According to Hebrew law, the first-born son of each Jewish family was presented to God forty days after his birth. Joseph holds two turtledoves, the traditional sacrifice, while a number of people behind him carry burning candles. Blue smoke rises from the glowing orange wick of a candle that has just been extinguished by a draft fro

RM2YJXA3Y–The Presentation in the Temple, 1498-1499. Additional Info:This leaf depicting the Presentation in the Temple originally comes from a manuscript known as the Hours of Louis XII. Mary is seen in half-length, situated at the front of the space, close to the viewer. We seem to peer over her shoulder at the scene of the presentation of her infant son at the altar of the priest Simeon. The purpose of compositions such as this one, which were increasingly popular in the second half of the 1400s, was to bring viewers physically closer to the narrative and actively engage them in the event being port

RM2YJX6KY–Initial S: The Presentation in the Temple, about 1475-1500. Additional Info:The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple is an event from the Christian Bible’s Book of Luke. In this story, Mary and Joseph take the newborn Child to the Temple in Jerusalem as a part of a Jewish religious tradition. According to the laws given by God to Moses, mothers of new-born boys were to come to the Temple 40 days after giving birth to dedicate the child to God. The presentation also functioned as a purification ritual for the mother, who was believed to be unclean after giving birth. In this crowded comp

RM2YJX51K–The Nativity; Sacramentary, about 1025-1050. Additional Info:The Virgin Mary reclines on a large, luxurious bed while the newborn Jesus rests in a cradle behind and Joseph sits at the right, lost in thought. This Nativity is set in a cave, evoking the site in Bethlehem that pilgrims revered as the place of Jesus' birth. Six angels peer over the entrance to the cave to see the baby Jesus within. In the top half of the miniature, an angel announces the birth of the Messiah to two shepherds tending their animals against a striped background of green and blue, meant to evoke grass and the sky.

RM2YJX9MX–Initial H: The Nativity; Antiphonal, late 13th century. Additional Info:The H on the left side of the page introduces the chant Hodie nobis celorum rex (This day unto us the king of heaven), the first elaborate chant for the predawn service on Christmas. The representation of the Nativity within the enlarged initial heralds the theme of the chant, the celebration of Jesus' birth. The Virgin Mary, depicted in a traditional reclining pose, and Saint Joseph, seated to the right, seem lost in contemplation of the swaddled Christ Child in a sarcophagus-like crib, a reference to his future sacrifi

RM2YBCPHF–The Trees Bow for Jesus; Weltchronik, about 1400-1410.

RM2YJXA86–Initial E: The Adoration of the Magi, 1470s. Additional Info:The three kings come to pay homage to the infant Christ in this wildly colorful scene. The blues, greens and violets of the ground and in the figures harmonize with the three colors of the decorative initial. The eldest king has removed his crown in recognition of Christ's superior rank and is about to kiss his feet in reverence. The Christ Child, who has accepted his gift, offers the king his blessing. The figure of the youngest king (the farthest to the right) stands out from the color scheme in his red tunic and cap, and his stoc

RM2YJWAKD–The Flight into Egypt; Hours of Simon de Varie, 1455. Additional Info: In this miniature depicting the Flight into Egypt, the Virgin, baby Jesus, Joseph, and a female attendant escape to Egypt to elude Herod's soldiers, who search for Jesus to kill him. The artist squeezes the figures into the foreground, while a deep vista unfolds behind them. The long path winding back in space conveys a suggestion of their long journey. In the border, the illuminator included a figure cutting wheat and a soldier, referring to the Miracle of the Wheat Field, an apocryphal story about the soldiers' unsuccess
