Encouraged by the refined tastes of court patrons, French artists of the 14th century created a tour de force style latter known as camaieu, in which elegant figures painted in a monochrome or grisaille technique were set against gaily colored backgrounds and enlivened with fine gilding. Explore this rare technique and create an illumination using materials and techniques specific to the period with artist Sylvana Barrett.
Complements the exhibition Imagining the Past in France: 1250–1500.
