The Saint John's Bible



Back in March I visited the V&A Museum to see the Illuminated Bible - sample pages are on view and the history of the making of this contemporary illuminated work is outlined.

The luminence achieved by the illustrators is superb - you can view it by going to the V&A's website

or at the Saint John's website

I took some photos myself... don't you think they recreate stained glass beautifully?

Lynda: I agree...it radiates so much light and I hadn't made the connection...you are right, they are like stained glass. I enjoyed the exhibition as well!
