Descripción: John Paul Getty Museum.
«European rulers of the Middle Ages used books to exchange ideas and to display their wealth and importance. This exhibition showcases manuscripts made for the rich and powerful of Europe between 1380 and 1450.
Artists and books traveled across Europe in this period, influencing one another and giving rise to a common style. Called International Gothic, this style is characterized by elegant figures and costumes, naturalistic landscapes, and richly patterned surfaces.»
