    Flowers In Vase - Marc Chagall (I love the small figures to the right...)

    How about some more flowers?

    This artist is a Russian portraitist - here is another portrait made by him:


    I didn't think it would be so difficult to find out.

    It's Alexander Pushkin - I hadn't known the others until I saw that last one.

    Right, this is a hard one. What I'm after is the name of the manuscript these illustrations are from, but if you want to provide the artist's name, that's up to you:







    Ha - you're in my world now! We needed some medievalism in here. I'll provide more clues if people get stuck.
    "I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche

    Yes it's a portrait of Pushkin but who is the artist? You haven't named the first original picture either.

    Ooo, look what I have found.

    A bishop, the great Ęthelwold, whom the Lord had made patron of Winchester, ordered a certain monk subject to him to write the present book . . . He commanded also to be made in this book many frames well adorned and filled with various figures decorated with many beautiful colours and with gold. This book the Boanerges aforesaid caused to be indited for himself . . . Let all who look upon this book pray always that after the term of the flesh I may abide in heaven Ū Godeman the scribe, as a suppliant, earnestly asks this.

    Its the Benedictional of St AEthelwold, by Godeman.
