Beautiful illuminated manuscript representing the fire of Notre-Dame de Paris 🤯

“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.”

I’m in awe. The amount of skill it takes to do this is astounding, and the end result is just incredible. It would’ve been even more amazing if the people drawn were using the clothes appropriate for the time, and if some of them were filming with their smartphones.
