MINIATURIST, German (active in 1230s) |
St Matthew's Gospel1235-40Manuscript, 335 x 250 mm Städtische Sammlung, Rathaus, Goslar | ||
The title page of the Evangeliary shows the Adoration of the Magi, the Dream of St Joseph and the Evangelist St Matthew. The style is expressive in its abrupt gestures and unexpected contortions of the drapery. The style survived for about eighty years and then was replaced by the more refined Parisian fashion.
