Illumination "The Menorah" - reproduction of XIIIth Century

This Illumination "The Menorah" - is a reproduction of the XIIIth Century . The author of this beautiful reproduction, Chaïm Pat, painted on vegetable parchment using natural pigments and gold powder.

To understand the realization of this work, I propose to you to take note of the various stages for the execution of an illumination:

Once the parchment is ready to use, the highlighter uses graphite powder to create a stippled outline. The dotted lines are sketched, and the sketch is traced in ink. Once the drawing is finished, he places the gold dust and then lays down the paint.

Lastly, the illuminator encircles the painted areas with a contour line for more clarity. Some details can be brought in with white to bring out the colors.

It is a magnificent Illumination "The Menorah" - reproduction of the XIIIth Century, that we offer you. It would be a wonderful gift for the holidays to offer or to afford.
