Saint George & Saint Michael by Willem Vrelant et al.

 Salvete omens,



I admire and cherish the XV century European art, especially the manuscript illuminations.
So tonight, with Christmas Eve just one day away, I would like to share with you these several closeups of the splendid illuminations by Willem Vrelant & his workshop - from Google Project on Wiki Commons. 

Saint George - two illuminations (full page 1 & 2 here




Saint Michael - (full page)



a nobleman, presumably, hawking (full page) - the gray horse has a tail tied, beautiful blue tack and a noble steed appearance.



May the evil  be destroyed like the monsters lanced by the saintly knights  in these illuminations.

Valete
