Title
Illuminated Leopard Wearing Crown Around Its Neck
Artist
Genevieve Esson
Medium
Painting - Acrylic And Gold Leaf On Gallery Wrapped Stretched Canvas
Description
This image is inspired from The Morgan Animals & Beasts Leopard wearing crown around its neck | Book of Hours | France, Paris, | ca. 1420-1425 | The Morgan Library & Museum. It is a leopard hanging out in the margins of a medieval manuscript. Please see link for more info and image of the original: http://ica.themorgan.org/manuscript/page/203/76924
I have always admired medieval illuminated manuscripts. I am in the process of illuminating the alphabet. My artwork is not an exact copy of the leopard from the Book of Hours. I have recreated it to my liking and added a different background top and bottom, and used real gold leaf for the crown and leaves in the background.
