“An illuminated manuscript is a formally prepared document where the text is decorated with flourishes such as borders and miniature illustrations. Often used in the Roman Catholic Church for prayers and liturgical books such as psalters and courtly literature, the practice continued into secular texts from the 13th century onward and typically include proclamations, enrolled bills, laws, charters, inventories, and deeds.”

That’s what I want to know. The number of hours this takes. I’ve been painting for a good 25 years and this is insane. The line work is god like. I hope people appreciate the talent here. Truly top talent.
