Product Details
The "whitework" technique in medieval manuscripts is that of painting fine lines in white paint across a coloured background. Whitework was very much in vogue in Western Europe, starting about the 12th century, and was certainly in full swing during the 14th century. The opening page of the medieval manuscript Roman de la Rose, scribed by Girard de Beaulieu, contains a variety of whitework motifs which were adapted for the different sections of this beret. De Biaulieu was a cleric of St-Sauveur in Paris, and this popular poetic work is dated 1353.
