Version 7
Created by Boundless
Carolingian Painting in the Early European Middle Ages
Ark of the Covenant, Germigny-des-Prés (c. 806)
Restoration of the original that once adorned the Palatine Chapel. The subject seems drawn from illuminated Jewish bibles, and relates to the Libri Carolini, possibly written by Theodulf, where the Ark is cited as divine approval of sacred images.
