The Golden Book of the Gospels from Echternach. Codex Aureus Epternacensis Hs 156142 from the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg. A limited edition, boxed collection of 12 facsimile plates under passepartout and commentary by Johannes Pommeranz (in German), from the Codex Aureus of Echternach. In beautiful original box with replica of the Crucifixion relief. Published by Coron-Verlag, Kreuzlingen 2015. Number 59 of 995 copies. Display Box Dimension: 38 x 52 x 9 cm. The twelve facsimile sheets presented are gilded with 22 carat gold. The process used follows the gilding method of the medieval painter monks and is mastered solely by the bookbindery Richard Mayer in Esslingen. Each cassette is elaborately made individually by hand and is covered with purple full-grain leather. The twelve images are presented in bevel cut passe-partouts. An important element of the cassette itself is the crucifixion relief, which is also the focus of the ceremonial lid of the Nuremberg original. The group in the crucifixion relief is shown in simplified form: Christ in the centre, Longinus with the spear on one side, Stephaton with the bucket of vinegar, with hyssop stalks and a sponge for the thirsting Christ on the other. Unlike in the biblical account, Jesus stands firmly on the earth (TERRA); Sun and moon mourn. Theologically it is interesting that according to Augustine the opening of the Lord’s side also means the flow of the sacraments in a new church; the sponge carrier represents gall and vinegar of the ancient (Jewish) Church. All in all, the scene has a lot that is special: Christ’s feet are not fixed, the burden of his death is not unbearable, in contrast to other depictions. About the original manuscript. The Codex Aureus Epternacensis or The Golden Book of the Gospels of Echternach is one of the most impressive manuscripts that have survived to this day. It comes from the famous scriptorium of the Benedictine Abbey of Echternach in Luxembourg, which produced dozens of masterpieces of Carolingian and Ottonian illumination. Written entirely in gold ink, the text is accompanied by 64 splendid miniatures, numerous purple pages, as well as five portraits of the Evangelists, decorative canon tables and other ornamental elements. Classic architecture with arches and columns, borders with geometric and acanthus leaf ornaments, and braided initials adorn the text.

GEOFFREY KEY SIGNED LIMITED EDITION’ISOLATED HEADS’ BOOK BY NICK BROWN OBE. Geoffrey Key – Isolated Heads. Published 2020, hardback fully illustrated – Limited Edition to 500 – Hand Signed by the Artist. A book documenting a series of 30 paintings created during lockdown in early 2020. These thirty heads provide a moving panorama of the state of mind brought into being by a world where everyday life became inverted and, as such, they provide an artistic record of those times in a medium far more expressive and emotional and immediate than either the written or spoken word. They were painted in solitude and created out of chaos and social breakdown. They transcend their existential nature by helping us understand what we went through. When we are finally able to look back, I suspect they will come to be regarded as one of the most important and singular records of the lockdown. Perhaps of more significance is the fact that they are thirty paintings of great beauty in which we can recognise our own inner feelings and take joy from that. What Degas once said of Manet also applies to Geoffrey Key. He was more important than we realised. Geoffrey Key – Bio. Geoffrey Key is without doubt one of the most important Northern Artist, and is now coveted by many as the Greatest Living Northern Artist. He is now a world wide brand with his stunning works featuring around the globe. Was born in Manchester in 1941. Attending Manchester’s High School of Art, he progressed in 1958 to degree and post graduate studies at the Manchester Regional College of Art. Successful studies lead to a post graduate scholarship in sculpture, and the award of the Heywood medal in Fine Art and the Guthrie Travelling Scholarship. Now in his sixth decade as an artist, Geoffrey Key’s painting style is instantly recognisable; almost a unique blend of early twentieth century avant garde with modern twenty-first century observation. His colour palette has developed over time, from muted tones, to the vibrant use of colour he is now so well known for. Geoffrey Key has had numerous solo exhibitions and is regarded as one of the most important and striking artists working in the UK today. Geoffrey Key’s works are held in international private collections, and can be seen in many UK public collections, including The Manchester Art Gallery, Salford Art Gallery, National Art Library and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
