- Title
THE CHRISTIANISATION OF LITHUANIA AND WESTERN ILLUMINATION: FRUITS FROM THE RESEARCH ENCOMPASSING THE PERIOD FROM THE 13th TO THE 15th CENTURY.
- Authors
Tassetto, Silvana
- Abstract
The article discusses a few miniatures from manuscripts created in Western Europe between the 13th and 15th century that are held in the collections of Lithuanian libraries. Their iconography and stylistic features are analysed in this article in an attempt to identify the schools they originate from. The presumption is made that the illuminations of Latin manuscripts may have wielded significant influence on the spread of Western forms in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
