Leaf from a Book of Hours
A leaf from a Book of Hours, illuminated by the Master of Morgan 366, a Parisian-style manuscript painter, probably for private devotional use in the fifteenth century. The picture shows a haloed Virgin in a golden robe rising among winged angels, with a gilded initial and blue and gold border scrollwork; a designer might draw on its gold leaf, flourished initials, and foliage borders for ornamental work.
