Willehalm von Orlens
Willehalm von Orlens is a German verse romance by Rudolf von Ems, copied as an illuminated manuscript around 1420, now held by Heidelberg University Library. Its pictures show crowned figures in long robes and blue-green garments standing, kneeling and seated in clearings, set off by red rubric text and a pale green ground; a designer could draw on their flat, colourful, medieval manner of gesture and costume.
