Leaf from a Latin Bible: Initial P with St. Paul Holding a Sword... c. 1250. Creator
Leaf from a Latin Bible: Initial P with St. Paul Holding a Sword (St. Pauls Epistle to the Ephesians) (2 of 2 Excised Leaves), c. 1250. The Johannes Grusch Workshop is named for the priest responsible for copying one of its bibles in 1267. The shop first appeared on the scene during the late 1230s, and a group of 39 manuscripts has been identified. The workshops oldest dated work is a missal made for Rouen Cathedral between 1235 and 1245. The style expressed by the Grusch artist consists of flat little figures with inked draperies of a fairly irregular sort. The bodies have white heads with small features, like the short-bearded chins of the men and pursed mouths. A large number of painters were apparently associated with this workshop, which changed its style considerably over its thirty-year period of activity. Its painting can be divided into early, middle, and late styles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a leaf from a Latin Bible, featuring an exquisite initial "P" adorned with the figure of St. Paul holding a sword. Created around 1250 by the Johannes Grusch Workshop, this piece is part of their remarkable collection of manuscripts. The workshop gained recognition during the late 1230s and has been credited with producing 39 identified manuscripts. The distinct style employed by the Grusch artist can be observed in this artwork, characterized by flat little figures with intricately inked draperies that possess an irregular charm. The figures have white heads with delicate features, such as short-bearded chins for men and pursed mouths. Notably, this workshop underwent significant stylistic transformations throughout its three-decade period of activity. Crafted using gold on vellum and employing techniques like ink and tempera, this piece exemplifies the mastery achieved by French artisans during the 13th century. Hailing from Paris and now housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, it stands as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. Through this print provided by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, viewers are granted a glimpse into medieval craftsmanship while marveling at the intricate details that bring St. Paul's Epistle to life on paper.
