Description
One of the greatest works of 14thcentury English book illumination
The Madonna-Master, one of the two main artists, combines the French decorative Gothic ideal of human grace and courtly elegance with decorative elements of the Anglican style reflecting contemporary panel-painting. Six pair wise arranged scenes tell about Christ’s childhood: The Birth, Annunciation to the shepherds, Christ´s Circumcision, The Adoration of the Three Magi, Christ’s Presentation in the Temple, The Flight of the Holy Family to Egypt.
