Reading about medieval history and culture and pondering the artwork brings me to a peaceful place. In many respects life was simpler then, holier, yet not without difficulty. However, the words of Isabella say it all - they knew who to turn to. Thank you for your writings!
I learn a little more each time I experience your entries!
It makes me happy to hear that!

You're welcome, Cheryl, and I agree, there is a deep sense of real-life peacefulness in paintings like this one.
I would like to be as skilled as that artist at painting in miniature. This post gave me a sudden desire to start practicing art again.
I'm glad to hear that, and I hope that you do start practicing again, because the world needs more artists who take inspiration from the old masters.
Very interesting - thanks for going into the detail.
You're welcome Jack, thanks for reading and commenting.
