The exhibition explores the representation of the Holy City in the images and imaginations of the Latin West. Highlights of the exhibition include the long lost first volume of the Bible of Louis de Harcourt, Patriarch of Jerusalem and Bishop of Bayeux, a beautifully illustrated early gothic copy of Peter of Poitiers’ genealogical scroll, a deluxe book of hours with miniatures attributed to the Workshop of the Master François, and a miniature depicting the Agony in the Garden from the Holy Land Choir Book, a gift from King Henry IV of England to the Monastery of Mount Sinai around 1400.
A preview of the exhibition will take place on Thursday, September 15, from 6 to 8 pm.
