Flore und Blanscheflur
Flore und Blanscheflur is a medieval German verse romance by Konrad Fleck, copied in 1442 and held by Heidelberg University Library, written for courtly readers. Its painted pages show richly dressed, crowned figures in gestured exchanges beneath red rubricated text, with flat colour, pale blue and rose garments, and simple green ground lines a designer could borrow for vintage narrative scenes.
