Reproductions of Hand-Crafted Masterpieces by Artist Kevin Dillon
These fine art prints are reproductions of illuminated manuscript originals,
scripted in the tradition of the Book of Kells by artist, Kevin Dillon.
Using rediscovered medieval techniques, Kevin produces his own paints
from crushed semi-precious stones, formulates the ink, scrapes and prepares
the calfskin vellum, then meticulously scripts and illuminates each artistic
piece, overlaying them with 24k gold. Kevin has been creating these manuscripts
since 1988.
Not only do illuminated manuscripts comprise a magnificent genre of visual
art, they also manifest a wealth of knowledge and inspiration. Thanks
to his dedication to a mission of restoration, Kevin Dillon has revived
the glory of the medieval artists in true renaissance fashion.
