V. English - Biblia de San Luis - (XIII th - París) - http://www.moleiro.com/en/biblical-bo...
Toledo Cathedral, Spain - The Pierpont Morgan Library & Museum, New York -- USA. Date: 1226-1234. Size: 422 x 300 mm. 3 volumes, 1230 pages. 4887 medallions containing illuminated scenes. Commentary volume ( Vol. I 511 p.; Vol. II 496 p.).
Description
It belonged to St. Louis IX, King of France, who gave it to Alfonso X the Wise. It was copied and illustrated between 1226 and 1234 in Paris. Life in the Middle Ages is revealed through the images presented in this codex. Biblical texts and glosses blend with the iconography to create an unalterable whole. Unique monument of book illumination that constitutes both unlimited information for historians and a boundless source of pleasure to the senses. http://www.moleiro.com/en/biblical-bo...
The Bible of St Louis of Toledo Cathedral is a truly outstanding item within the rich heritage of Toledo Cathedral. This Bible moralisée written in Latin is so extraordinarily beautiful that it is also known as the "Rich Bible of Toledo".
The earliest references to this work date back to the codicil and testament of Alfonso X the Wise, king of Castile, which describe it as being a "historiated Bible in three books given to us by the king of France" and "one of the most noble items belonging to the king". The Bible of St Louis to which Alfonso X the Wise refers is in all likelihood the one housed in Toledo Cathedral. The studies made of the different aspects of this Bible together with the analysis of its contents enable the date of its composition and the period in which it was copied and illuminated to be determined very approximately. These tasks were completed between 1226 and 1234. This vast, highly accurate and meticulous work required the patient dedication of many experts in the widest possible fields covered by theologians, copyists and illuminators... http://www.moleiro.com/en/biblical-bo...

Learn more about the exhibition "Vermeer's Masterpiece: The Milkmaid," on view at the Met September 10 - November 29, 2009: http://www.metmuseum.org/special/verm...
On the occasion of the four hundredth anniversary of Henry Hudson's historic voyage to Manhattan from Amsterdam, the Rijksmuseum has sent "The Milkmaid," perhaps the most admired painting by Johannes Vermeer (1632 - 1675), to the Metropolitan Museum. To celebrate this extraordinary loan, the Met presents "Vermeer's Masterpiece: The Milkmaid," a special exhibition that brings together all five paintings by Vermeer from its collection, along with a select group of works by other Dutch artists, placing Vermeer's superb picture in its historical context. Along with "The Milkmaid," important works by Pieter de Hooch, Gabriël Metsu, Nicolaes Maes, Emanuel de Witte, and Gerard ter Borch are on view. All were masters who, like Vermeer, were active during the remarkable period of exploration, trade, and artistic flowering that occurred during the Dutch Golden Age in the seventeenth century. "Vermeer's Masterpiece: The Milkmaid" marks the first time that the painting has traveled to the United States since it was exhibited at the 1939 World's Fair.
