In radiant colours and sparkling gold the Sforza Legendarium<\/em> presents a subtly composed pictorial narrative of Christ’s earthly family. Admire this wonderful masterpiece made by Cristoforo de Predis, one of the greatest book illuminators of his time! Galeazzo Maria Sforza, Duke of Milan, who delighted in the ostentatious display of his wealth, commissioned this manuscript, and it is one of the most beautiful books of the Italian Renaissance. An overwhelming stream of gorgeous images takes the viewer to the cities and landscapes of 15th century Lombardy. Marvel at the meticulous attention the artist gave to designing his figures, making them come alive!<\/p>\n

A Renaissance Masterpiece<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

Providing an incredible wealth of masterly pictures, the Sforza Legendarium<\/em> illustrates the legends about Christ and his earthly family with the utmost artistry.
\nVarious elements of Renaissance art are reflected in the skilful architectural designs, the structures drawn in central perspective, the play of light and shade – as well as the figures’ expressive facial features and their gestures. The ingenious book illuminator repeatedly divided the text passages into several separate scenes and even allotted individual miniatures to events preceding or following the main scene. Thus, he created a unique choreography of the biblical narrative.<\/em><\/p>\n

Virtuosity in Book Illumination<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Sforza Legendarium<\/em> was created by the highly accomplished book illuminator Cristoforo de Predis who in 1471 began to work as a miniaturist at the Sforza court in Milan. He was born deaf and dumb, a handicap which might have raised his powers of observation and his awareness of colour. His miniatures are particularly noteworthy not only for the many details in them which reflect the everyday life of the time, but also for the highly animated gestures of the figures. His art is not abstract, but rather the result of careful observation. Being an avid chronicler, he was acutely aware of his surroundings: natural phenomena, his city, everyday life and the emotions of his fellow men.<\/p>\n

Made for the Duke of Milan<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

Galeazzo Maria Sforza, Duke of Milan, was a Renaissance prince with a predilection for pomp, but also a generous patron of art and music. His court was one of the most magnificent in Italy in the 15th century. In 1476 he commissioned the book illuminator Cristoforo de Predis to illustrate the Legendarium<\/em> which was intended as a practical aid to devotion. Since the artist employed strong colours and shining gold and silver, the luxurious illumination was probably very much to the duke’s taste. Moreover, by looking at the miniatures, he could recognise many of the landscapes and buildings of Lombardy. The texts for the Sforza Legendarium<\/em> were presumably assembled by Galeazzo’s court chaplain.<\/p>\n

In the miniatures by Cristoforo de Predis, the stories about Joachim and Anna, the Virgin Mary, Christ and John the Baptist are set off against townscapes and architectural structures unmistakably reflecting Lombard Renaissance architecture. It is a pleasure to discover historical details in the buildings depicted and to identify their actual models. Several distinctive buildings can be clearly recognized. Likewise, equivalents in quattrocento architecture can be found for the representations of coloured interiors adorned with friezes. The contemporary viewer, first and foremost the duke, would thus more easily identify with the pictures he was looking at, and ultimately with the pictorial narrative of the history of salvation.<\/p>\n

On fol. 43r both miniatures show a number of reminiscences of famous buildings in Milan and the surrounding area. In a group of pilgrims Mary, Joseph and the 12-year-old Jesus are on their way to Jerusalem for the Feast of Passover. Jerusalem is depicted as a Lombard city. A noteworthy feature is the covered bridge, modelled on a bridge in Pavia. It leads up to a fortress recalling the Castello di Porta Giovia in Milan.
\nOn the return journey Mary and Joseph discover that Jesus is not among the travellers. They return to the Temple in Jerusalem to search for him. The distinctive two-coloured fa\u00e7ade in the centre is taken from the old cathedral of Milan.<\/p>\n

Gain a detailed insight into the splendid Sforza Legendarium<\/em> by looking at the documentation folder published on the occasion of the facsimile edition!<\/p>\n

The linen-bound folder contains a double-leaf of the facsimile depicting events from the life of Christ in six miniatures. These examples allow you to appreciate the miniaturist’s skill at playing with the effects of light and shade, and at drawing architectural structures in central perspective. Discover further details in the notes that explain the elaborate illuminations. In a richly illustrated 16-page brochure, learn more about the art of book illumination in the Renaissance.<\/p>\n
