These delicate pages were painted by an anonymous hand in the 1400s, part of a private prayer book used by everyday readers. One leaf shows the Visitation, where Mary greets her cousin Elizabeth, both pregnant, in soft blues and golds. The style mimics late medieval manuscripts, with crowded figures and thin washes of color. Look closer at the gold leaf halos and careful robes—details meant to bring a holy scene to life for its owner. Tap The Visitation to see how gold sparkles in the original.
