Day three hundred and forty-six: This morning it was time to turn the pages of the illuminated manuscripts on display in the medieval galleries of the museum. Today’s sketch is based on a winged lion of St. Mark that I noticed in a nearby stained-glass window. I’m not entirely sure, but I think the window was reconstructed from 15th and 16th-century glass fragments, and is why this strange looking feline looks especially disjointed.
why?
