MINIATURE THE ARREST OF JESUS - Lot 17
MINIATURE THE ARREST OF JESUS Miniature on vellum. Constantinople, 17th century. Page dimensions: 13.2 x 9.5 cm. Miniature size : 9 x 6.5 cm. Slight alteration of the painting in the lower right, due to a religious practice of digital occultation of Machus, the servant of Caiaphas who had his ear cut off by Saint Peter. Parallels particularly close to our pages can be found in several Gospels, notably the one preserved at the University of Bologna (ms. 3290), the one in the private collection of David and Jemima Jeselsohn (ms. JM22) and the one in the Matenadaran collection illuminated by Calouste Dpir in 1671 (ms. 10663). On April 2, 2014, Heritage Auction in New York sold an incomplete gospel with 6 miniatures undoubtedly by the same hand as ours (lot 36451). It is possible that our miniatures come from this manuscript.
