This miniature painting was inspired by a pair of hybrids hiding in the margins of a decorative Antiphonal choir book created between 1260 - 1270. Hybrids like these are common in medieval illustration and these two may symbolise the sin of lust, as a monk-like hybrid is perhaps about to break his vow of celibacy. The original manuscript is in the care of the Getty Museum collection and a selection of pages have been made available as images online, for public access.
This version has been created by me, with many liberties and embellishments, using watercolour, ink and casein, embellished with 23.75 carat gold. The painting is varnished and mounted onto a wooden panel and offered ready to hang in a beautiful 9½ x 7½” wooden frame.
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.)
