What I found most interesting about these manuscripts such as the <em>Master of Mary Burgundy, Hours of Engelbert of Nassau<\/em> was the artist\u2019s decision to draw the accompanying images on each page look three-dimensional. For example, in both <em>St.Barbara<\/em> and <em>Hours of the Virgin: Annunciation<\/em> pages the artist(s) worked on naturalism by drawing shadows under the flowers and depicting each peacock feather with different designs to show individuality. I found this move towards naturalism to be interesting because it seems to show patrons had a new taste for the life-likeness of the works they commissioned. Additionally, this makes me wonder if how naturalistic the artwork in a manuscript shows a higher status symbol for the owner. Additionally, a lot of the text written in the manuscripts was abbreviated \u2014 I think this speaks to the switch from more formal language to vernacular. Furthermore, another way I believe artists worked on naturalism in their artwork can be seen in the <em>Grimani Breviary<\/em> where most of the page is taken up by a landscape drawing. In this case, the text is incorporated into two banners in the foreground of the scene. This choice by the artist ensures that the viewer sees the landscape as a whole instead of being broken up by the text.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In class last Thursday we discussed the emergence of manuscripts and the significance of owning one of these books.
