In this video lecture, we discussed the parts and variations of manuscripts, as well as continuing some of our discussion on gender in the Renaissance.\u00a0 The manuscript made for the Queen by Jean Pucelle, we noted, is one of the most important manuscripts of the Renaissance.\u00a0 What I found particularly interesting was the use of Grisaille on the medium, which meant that shading was the only form of difference (without color) on each manuscript page.\u00a0 The other interesting implication from this is the fact that therefore, the page, without shading, can be interpreted as total light.\u00a0 This helps the prayer book use this imagery to create borders of light around the sacred art included. We also talked about schools of illumination, in which manuscripts were produced in large complexes and schools.\u00a0 What was interesting and new about these schools, is that the manuscripts produced were not personalized in the same way as earlier manuscripts we looked at – instead, they were personalized in small ways and commercialized and \u201cmass-produced\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
