Initial R from a Choral Book with King David(), c. 1470-1480. Attributed to Guglielmo Giraldi del Magri [or del Magro (Italian). Ink, tempera and gold on vellum; sheet: 16 x 18 cm (6 5/16 x 7 1/16 in.). This sumptuous initial is painted in deep hues set against a burnished gold ground in order to achieve a rich jewel-like effect. The design of the letter incorporates such motifs as gemstones, pearls, and classical cameos-much favored by Renaissance princes-to add further refinement to the image.
