Legenda Venerabilium Virorum Aymonis et Vermondi

Anovelo da Imbonate · 1400 · 5 pictures

A late medieval Italian manuscript of saints' legends, written by Anovelo da Imbonate around 1400 and held by the J. Paul Getty Museum, likely made for a clerical or monastic reader. Its pages are dense with Gothic script set beside small framed scenes in flat, saturated colour with gold accents. A designer could draw on the compact layout of text blocks and inset miniatures, and on the palette of ochre, red, green and blue arranged in rectangular panels.
