Descripción: John Paul Getty Museum.
«From 1000 to 1500 the art of illumination in Europe held a central place in the history of medieval painting, and much of the most beautiful and innovative art of the period appeared in books. The simplicity and abstraction of the Ottonian, the geometric complexities of the Romanesque, and the meticulous observation of the visible world characteristic of the later Middle Ages are among the spectacular developments in illuminated manuscripts that are surveyed in this exhibition.»
