Unlike many illuminated manuscripts, the words illustrate the pictures<\/strong> instead of the other way around. The iconographic apparatus of the Holkham Bible<\/a><\/strong> overflows with details from the medieval time<\/strong>, such as technological developments and London landmarks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike later manuscripts which very often features heavy ornamentation, the Holkham Bible<\/strong> lacks the gleaming gold and silver, indeed, the artist chose to use a form of tinted wash<\/strong> which was popular in earlier manuscripts. The subtlety<\/strong> and naturalistic poses<\/strong> echo the art of Italian fresco painting<\/strong> rather than of the stylized figures of medieval illumination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
