Manuscripts: major works of art
Male: Most people, when they come upon the gallery, I think, are rather surprised that these little books were even important objects, or that they could be so finely and so splendidly painted.발음듣기

His hand is raised in blessing, and it's all arranged in this very simple design, with the mandorla in the center, the strong symmetry.발음듣기
Part of the beauty of this book is, despite the amount of moral and spiritual message that the artist endeavors to imply, that it's all done with a great kind of clarity.발음듣기
One of the greatest manuscripts in the collection is this prayer book called, "The Prayer Book Albrecht of Brandenburg."발음듣기
Each of the prayers is illustrated with a magnificent miniature, which tells the very, very familiar story of Christ from the time of the Annunciation, and all of these miniatures are set in these wonderful nocturnal scenes, that are lit only by candlelight and torches, as you see here, so that in fact, the effect in itself is very, very dramatic.발음듣기

The miniature that you see here tells the story of Adam and Eve, and it's painted by The Boucicaut Master.발음듣기

Such a book was opened at night, and as the owner, or whatever, sat in bed, one of his aides would actually read them aloud, and then of course they would have the opportunity to look at the wonderful pictures.발음듣기
I think it's important to keep in mind that although they were books, they came to be prized more and more as works of art.발음듣기
