The Icons of Elvire Mercatini - 2


Meet Elvire, the Menton artist who creates these beautiful icons. The photo below shows Elvire's interpretation of Les Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry (The Book of Hours).

And note the smaller photo which shows a little more of the beautiful Chapelle Saint Jacques which housed Elvire's work.

  7. I have this book. It is a huge book and fits on a large coffee table. I got it from a book dealer in New York a long time ago. To me it is fancier than the Book of Kells, by far.
