Exquisite exhibition of illuminations at the Louvre Museum – Hotel de Saint-Germain Paris

Exquisite exhibition of Illuminations at the Louvre Museum, until October 10

Over several centuries, manuscripts were illustrated with decorative patterns, figurative scenes and dropped capital letters brought to life with bold colours. Delicately painted by the illuminators on the parchments or treated animal skins in preparation for the writing, these images were occasionally embellished with gold or silver.

Becoming highly collectable from the 17th Century, they began to be appreciated for their artistic value. As a result many works were pulled apart and these illuminations were turned into small pictures. The Louvre Museum has built up a little known collection by gathering these magnificent pages over the years.

You will discover a beautiful selection from this collection until October 10, 2011. Seventy Italian, French, Dutch and German illuminations originating from historical, literary or liturgical manuscripts dating from the 11th to 16th Centuries are presented as true masterpieces.
