That mid-15th-century style consisted of works in primary colors of "wooden, clumsily painted stock figures". The Ghent-Bruges School style created illuminated manuscripts with realistic images of people, including half- and full-length portraits, colorful landscapes and the use of bright and pastel colors.

Johannes Crabbe ( 1420 – 1 November 1488) was abbot of Ten Duinen Abbey in present-day Belgium, an imperial counsellor and bibliophile. Johannes Crabbe was born in a middle-class family in Hulst. He made a career within the Catholic church, entering the Cistercian Order and joining the Ten Duinen Abbey. At one point he was secretary for the abbot of the monastery, and held an official position relating to the settlement of Veurne. In 1457, he was elected abbot of Ten Duinen Abbey by the other monastics, following the death of his predecessor. The choice was however contested by Duke Philip the Good and not least his wife, Isabella of Portugal, who had designs to install her nephew James of Portugal as abbot of the same monastery. Crabbe therefore travelled to Rome to gain the support of the Pope. The case was settled when James of Portugal died, and Isabella accepted Crabbe as abbot in exchange for a large sum of money. While in Italy, Crabbe had made contacts with the Medi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Illuminated Manuscript
An illuminated manuscript is a formally prepared document where the text is often supplemented with flourishes such as borders and miniature illustrations. Often used in the Roman Catholic Church for prayers, liturgical services and psalms, the practice continued into secular texts from the 13th century onward and typically include proclamations, enrolled bills, laws, charters, inventories and deeds. While Islamic manuscripts can also be called illuminated, and use essentially the same techniques, comparable Far Eastern and Mesoamerican works are described as ''painted''. The earliest illuminated manuscripts in existence come from the Kingdom of the Ostrogoths and the Eastern Roman Empire and date from between 400 and 600 CE. Examples include the Codex Argenteus and the Rossano Gospels, both of which are from the 6th century. The majority of extant manuscripts are from the Middle Ages, although many survive from the Renaissance, along with a very limited number from Late Ant ...
