This painting was inspired by an illuminated letter D in the Hours of Dionara of Urbino (c1480 - 1520). This manuscript is currently in the care of The British Library and was illuminated by Matteo da Milano for the Duchess of Urbino. This image is a great example of a memento mori - always a fun topic to paint during Halloween season.
My version was created, with the usual liberties, using watercolour, ink and casein and embellished with 23.75 carat gold. The painting is varnished and mounted to a wooden panel and offered ready to hang in a beautiful wooden frame with outer dimensions of 9” x 9”.
The listed price includes free UK shipping. I am very happy to ship worldwide upon request. (If you live outside the UK, please contact me to discuss the postage options for your country.)
