As a medieval illustrator seeing this at a random shop in italy genuinely made my day. Adding it straight to my shelf with the rest of my medieval collection.

Pretty sure this follows rule 7. A tattoo artist's flash style print of a set of odd marginalia fellows. I'm particularly happy with the skeleton florist, the walking fish, and the human radish.

Hello everyone! I bought a Crucified Christ measuring 65 x 63 cm, made of wood. I have been researching it due to the size of the perizonium and the knot that reaches almost down to the knees (which I consider a transitional period), and the absence of a crown of thorns (a significant feature in the transition from the Middle Ages to the Gothic period and the subsequent Renaissance). Regarding its origin, I see similarities with traditional 14th-century Gothic crucifixes made in the Lucca and Tuscany regions, both in Italy. What do you think? Thank you very much.

Going for a romanesque taberna vibe for my living/dinning room.

Been obsessed with marginalia for a while so i started drawing and rigging some of them for a game I'm making.

Left is the original, right is my version in spine. Still lots to do but wanted to share

Currently Monday in my time zone, hope this doesn’t get taken down!

Im getting into wood carving and would like some examples for medieval wooden objects (before 1450) that aren't just decoration. So useful yet beautiful pieces of craftsmanship

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Guda was a 12th-century nun and illuminator from Germany. She created a self-portrait in an initial letter in the Homiliary of St. Bartholomew. Because of humility, most nuns that worked as illuminators, didn't signed the manuscripts they illuminated. She did. But her inscription says: "Guda, a sinner, wrote and painted this book.".

''Sequentia was among the first vocal ensembles to revive Hildegard’s music in our time, working closely from the medieval manuscript sources and employing concepts of performance practice which would have been known to the abbess and her Benedictine sisters in the 12th century...''

This is my first drawing like this with so many people, I hope it will be similar to real medieval battle scenes.

In the Ars moriendi ("The Art of Dying"), a dying man faces five temptations from the devil, each answered by an angel. This is the temptation to impatience: he lashes out at the people tending him, the table goes over, and a devil looks on.

It's from a block book printed in Germany around 1475.

I came across it while building Inside Out Library, a free search engine for the pictures inside old public-domain books: https://insideoutlibrary.com/?id=locbook-loc_49039592-9-1. Every image is a real scan linked to its source, with nothing AI-generated. (Personal project; I work at the Internet Archive.)

I don't have many medieval books in it yet, but I'd like to add more. The subjects and graphic style of this period are so striking. Are there manuscripts or early printed books you'd want to see in there?

The original illustrations are from the borderless pages of a late 15th-century manuscript. I extracted these specific creatures and recreated them in brass. Cold ceramic enamel.

A few months ago I designed and printed some magnets inspired by one of the most humorous tropes of marginalia— namely, the eternal war between dogs and rabbits. It was very fun to pick my favourite scenes and illustrate them all together in one design. If anyone’s interested, I have a few left at $5.

Just found out about this artist, very intriguing
