Illuminated Manuscript : The Romance of Alexander

These gorgeous illuminated manuscript miniatures were produced by the workshop of the Flemish illuminator, Jehan de Grise, between 1338 and 1344. Look at the wonderful details, they are down right astonishing. You can see more at bibliodyssey, just click through to the super large version for the full impact.

You will be short of breath the moment you see the "breathtaking" illuminations.
