1897 Borders Ernest Guillot Illuminated Letters Manuscript Ornamentation
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph, titled "Ornementation des Manuscrits au Moyen-Age" (Ornamentation from Manuscripts of the Middle Ages), was created by Ernest Guillot in 1897. The image showcases an intricately illuminated border, adorned with vibrant floral motifs, intricate geometric patterns, and golden filigree. At the center of the border, a miniature scene unfolds: a humbly dressed man presents a regal king with an ornate, open book. The king, dressed in rich robes and adorned with a crown, gazes intently at the pages before him, while the man looks on with a hopeful expression. The illuminated letters surrounding the scene are also noteworthy, with each character meticulously crafted in gold and vibrant hues. The delicate balance of color and intricate detail in this work is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the medieval manuscript illuminators. This image is taken from the collection "Recueil de Documents: Lettres ornees, bordures, miniatures, etc. tires des principaux manuscrits de la Bibliotheque Nationale, de diverses bibliotheques et des monuments de l'epoque" (Collection of Documents: Ornamented Letters, Borders, Miniatures, etc. Drawn from the Principal Manuscripts of the National Library, of Various Libraries and Monuments of the Period). The image provides a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the Middle Ages and the intricate beauty of illuminated manuscripts.
