Initial R from a Choral Book with King David(?), c. 1470-1480. 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.
