Illuminations

Illuminations were intricate decorations that adorned important hand-copied books during the Middle Ages. These artworks served both as illustrations and ornate embellishments for margins and initial capital letters on select pages. The process involved a scribe who would meticulously copy the text, followed by an illuminator who would enhance the work with vibrant paints and gilding. This combination of text and art not only made the manuscripts beautiful but also conveyed the significance of the content, making each book a unique masterpiece of its time.
