The next treasure to arrive. A slim paperback but beautifully produced. Maybe this will help me remember everything I learned in Roger Wieck's RBS course and promptly forgot, because I don't work with Books of Hours often enough. #manuscripts #booksofhours #medievalsky
Medieval manuscript illumination of the Visitation, depicting Mary and Elizabeth embracing. Both have halos, with Mary in blue and Elizabeth in red. They stand on a path near a house with arched windows, where a small animal (dog?) is visible. The scene is framed by a decorated border with floral patterns and a small marginal figure.
#MedievalSky Happy #HugAMedievalistDay! We celebrate with one of my favourite scenes in books of hours, the Visitation. This one comes from the Hours of Antoine de Crèvecœur, Leeds, University of Leeds Library, Brotherton Collection MS 4, fol. 60v (detail).

Art created in the style of a page from a book of hours, gold paint, and cornflowers, lady bugs and butterflies. Done with gouache and water colour of paper called pergamenata. This time without the flash.
Art in times of darkness brings light, thus illumination. Illuminating!
