Something Beautiful

Illuminated Women (Getty)

The Getty Museum is having an exhibition about women in illuminated manuscripts.   Wish we could all go!   In the absence of that ability, I'll post some links here.  :-)  

• Mary Magdalene, in the Spinola Hours (c. 1520)  
• St. Anne teaching Mary to read, from a Book of Hours (c. 1430)
• Denise Poncher before an image of Death, from the Poncher Hours, c. 1500
