#Illuminated letters m free#

I’ll leave it to you to decide how much of the letters you wish to change and if you would want to remove any of the remaining guidelines. There’s also some small places where the background was not completely filled in. They are slightly off-square and the letters all extend outside of those borders. All of them have a black border around the letter. I’ve left all of these images the way I found them. They are both decorated with red and white flowers and one also has a trio of green leaves. Small Illuminated Letter M imagesĪ pair of small, blue illuminated letter M images round out the group of letters I’m sharing with you in this post. The third has a bit of a musical feel to me and has a pair of dragon-like animals at the bottom. They also have white and grey decorations that surround the letter. The pictures are well-done but photos just can’t seem to truly capture the shine and shimmer of a gilded item.Īll three of these gilded letter M images feature a letter M drawn in blue with white decorations.

I can only imagine how stunning these must be in person. There were 5 lovely letter M images within the manuscript and the three larger ones were all gilded. The scholars believe that every page except one may have been done by the same artist. More than likely the work was commissioned by the Catholic Church and may have been created by a monk.

They, along with almost 100 other drop cap images, were part of a French religious manuscript.
