From intricate illuminated manuscripts to breathtaking miniatures, each piece tells a unique story that has stood the test of centuries. The Lindisfarne Gospels, created between 715-721, are a true testament to the skill and dedication of medieval artists. These beautifully illustrated manuscripts showcase intricate calligraphy and vibrant illuminations, transporting us to a bygone era. Intriguingly mysterious is the Greek fire miniature from the Madrid Skylitzes. Painted by an anonymous artist during the 11th-12th century, this artwork captures both awe-inspiring power and enigmatic allure. Traveling further into history, we encounter Tres Riches Heures - a masterpiece commissioned by Duc de Berry between 1413-1416. The Labours of the Months depicted within these pages offer glimpses into daily life during this period while showcasing astonishing attention to detail. Henry I, Count of Anhalt's portrait from Codex Manesse offers insight into noble life in medieval times. Created anonymously between 1305 and 1340, this depiction exudes regal elegance while preserving historical significance. Delving deeper into medical practices lies The Hippocratic Oath manuscript dating back to the Byzantine era (12th century). Crafted by an unknown Byzantine Master, it serves as a reminder of ancient wisdom that continues to influence modern medicine today. Unicorns have long captivated our imagination with their mythical allure. The Unicorn in Captivity painting from around c. 1500 showcases exquisite craftsmanship attributed to Master of Hunt for Unicorn – leaving us spellbound with its ethereal beauty. From religious devotion comes Reaping and Binding Sheaves illustration found within Luttrell Psalter (ca 1330).
