Idag skissar jag till julutställningen. Temat är Illuminare och jag har fastnat för Illuminationer och särskillt från The Book of Hours, en medeltida bönbok. Dator, skrivare, akvarellpennor och papper är mina redskap i kampen om att hitta rätt.
"The Book of Hours was a prayer book for the laity that developed in late
medieval Europe and that was used for private devotion. These works
were often personalized for individual patrons and illuminated with
miniature paintings depicting the life of Christ, the Virgin Mary, and
individual saints. The text included a calendar of liturgical feast days
and a series of prayers to be recited eight times a day, according to
established practice. By the early Renaissance period the popularity of
the Book of Hours demonstrated the growing interest of the laity in
speaking directly with God and the saints, rather than exclusively
through the church and the ordained clergy. " Källa: www.wdl.org
