Decorated Text Page; Prayer Book of Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, about 1525-1530. Additional Info:Butterflies, thistles, insects, and an alert squirrel examining a nut decorate this border surrounding a text devoted to the virtues and sorrows of the Virgin. The thistles seem to hover in front of the shimmering gold ground, casting illusionistic shadows below.
