Tempera Art: Illuminated Manuscript

Egg tempera painting of a medieval illuminated manuscript page, an ornate capital letter decorated with gold leaf, gold leaf worn away at the edges, a miniature scene of a knight battling a dragon painted in vivid mineral pigments, an illuminated border of acanthus leaves and strawberries, intricate vine borders with berries and tiny animals, hairline cracks in the gesso and gold showing age, the manuscript open on a wooden lectern in a candlelit scriptorium, the pages propped open with a leather bookmark, quills, ink pots, wax seals and blue and green pigments in small stone dishes nearby, a monk's copying desk with a candle and a quill knife, warm candlelight from the left with soft shadows, dusty air, parchment texture with visible fibers, crimson-ultramarine-gold palette, extreme macro detail, reverent antique atmosphere, 4k
