1897 Alphabet Choir Dame Ernest Guillot Illuminated Manuscript Notre Ornamentation
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts an illuminated alphabet surrounded by the choir members of the renowned Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. The image is taken from Ernest Guillot's "Ornementation des Manuscrits au Moyen-Age" (Ornamentation from Manuscripts of the Middle Ages), published in 1897. The intricately designed illuminated alphabet is a testament to the artistic and literary achievements of the Middle Ages. The choir members, dressed in their traditional robes, are shown in a serene and harmonious setting, adding to the overall beauty and tranquility of the image. The Notre-Dame Cathedral, located in the heart of Paris, is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and a symbol of French history and culture. The choir, with its magnificent stained-glass windows and ornate decorations, has long been a source of inspiration for artists and scholars alike. Ernest Guillot, a prominent French scholar and bibliophile, dedicated his life to the study and preservation of medieval manuscripts. His work, "Ornementation des Manuscrits au Moyen-Age," is a comprehensive collection of ornamental designs and motifs found in manuscripts from the Middle Ages. The chromolithographs in this publication offer a unique glimpse into the artistic and decorative traditions of the time. This image not only showcases the beauty and intricacy of illuminated manuscripts but also highlights the historical significance of the Notre-Dame Cathedral and the role it played in the artistic and cultural development of Europe during the Middle Ages.
