Gospel Book with Evangelist Portraits: Decorated Initial, c. 1480. Creator: Hausbuch Master
Gospel Book with Evangelist Portraits: Decorated Initial, c. 1480. The four gospels are preceded by a full-page portrait miniature of the appropriate evangelist. Per tradition, they are represented as contemporary scribes surrounded by all the tools of their trade-- ink pots, quill pens, and penknives. The anonymous illuminator of these miniatures, called the Hausbuch Master, is known primarily for an album of lively drawings as well as some 90 copper engravings now in Amsterdam. He was also apparently a panel painter of some distinction. The skillful pen work, tracery, and vine scrolls, as well as the large initials, are the work of other artists.The binding is original.

Created by the talented Hausbuch Master, this exquisite piece of art features four full-page portrait miniatures of the evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. In accordance with tradition, each evangelist is depicted as a contemporary scribe surrounded by their essential tools of trade - ink pots, quill pens, and penknives.

While the intricate pen work, tracery patterns, vine scrolls, and large initials were executed by other artists involved in this project. The original binding from the 15th century adds an extra layer of historical significance to this masterpiece.
