Breviary
A illuminated breviary made around 1320 by an unknown scribe and painter, likely in England or France, probably for a clergyman or devotional reader, held by the J. Paul Getty Museum. The picture shows a border-framed manuscript miniature with pale, lively figures in blue and orange tunics gathered around a seated figure with a bowl or cloth. The scene's flat colour, gold-leaf initial and vine-and-leaf border offer a designer ideas for medieval-style decorative framing, figure grouping and restrained palettes of blue, vermilion and ochre.
