Specialist Notes
Facsimile of the miniature masterpiece, the Bible was created between 1455 and 1461 for Borso d'Este, Duke of Ferrara. The mastery of illuminators such as Taddeo Crivelli and Franco dei Russi sanctions the definitive passage towards a fully Renaissance language, moving away from the elegant late-Gothic charms to affirm a vision that makes the rational understanding of the world the key to interpreting the existing world.
