The Book of Miracles

"The Book of Miracles emerged several years ago and stands as one of the most remarkable finds in Renaissance art. This nearly complete illuminated manuscript, originating from Augsburg around 1550, comprises 169 pages of large-format images crafted using gouache and watercolor. These fascinating illustrations explore both biblical and folkloric themes, featuring scenes from the Old Testament, the Book of Revelation, and contemporary events from the author's lifetime. From shooting stars and locust swarms to fearsome creatures and catastrophic floods, each page captivates with visions that are by turns alarming, awe-inspiring, and even apocalyptic. Now offered in a new, compact edition, this book makes the extraordinary 'Book of Miracles' accessible to a broader audience."
