Irmengard Codex
The Irmengard Codex is an illuminated manuscript of unknown authorship, made around 1030, now held by the J. Paul Getty Museum. Its pages are painted with haloed figures set between columns and architectural frames in flat, saturated colour. The images offer a designer strong examples of early medieval framing, with gold borders, arched canopies, and stylised drapery built from simple planes of colour.
