Special thanks to @RabbyArt for putting up with everyone in BnF world for their secret Santa as I adore the picture I had gotten from my santee.
The anonymous illuminator of the 12th century BNF Latin 1654 and Paul Klee were equally fascinated by how colors play together. Eight hundred years might divide them but they were both just as creative and playful with their art. #MedievalManuscripts
