RE: Illuminated Manuscripts at the Getty Museum Took Me Back to the Book of Kells (and Had Me Briefly Considering a Vow of Chastity)

Interesting article. Those pieces are utterly beautiful. The sacrifices these people made in order to create these kind of work are beyond imaginable. However, maybe for them it isn't sacrifice at all since they could take joy from what they are doing with the thought that they are pleasing God. Today, in the present, it is seldom to find this kind of dedication and I really respect them for that.
