Ashamed Catholicism Christ Christianism Christopher Codex Cristoforo Crying Embarrassed Fifteenth Illuminated Jesus Manuscript Mediaeval Peter Predis Refuse Renaissance Robespierre Sandal Sandals Shame Xvth 15th
EDITORS COMMENTS
This hauntingly beautiful illuminated manuscript page, hailing from the fifteenth century Codex of Cristoforo Predis housed in the Royal Library of Turin, Italy, depicts the poignant scene of Saint Peter's third denial of Jesus. As Jesus stands before the cockcrow, a rooster crowing in the background, a remorseful Peter, clad in sandals, covers his face in shame. The scene is a poignant reminder of Peter's earlier promise to Jesus, "Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you," (Mark 14:31). Yet, three times, Peter denied knowing Jesus, each denial growing more emphatic. The medieval miniature, a testament to the artistic prowess of the Renaissance period, is richly adorned with intricate details. The architecture in the background, the folds of Peter's robe, and the tears streaming down his cheeks are all rendered with remarkable precision. The use of vibrant colors and gold leaf adds to the overall beauty and grandeur of the scene. This powerful image, a poignant reminder of the human capacity for denial and the importance of staying true to one's beliefs, has stood the test of time. It continues to resonate with viewers, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Catholicism and Christianity, and the enduring power of religious art.
