Curator’s inspection
Move across the painting — or drag on touch — to study brushwork and craquelure through the curator’s loupe.
Christ Enthroned, Book of Kells
Folio 32v: Christ holds the Gospel within a labyrinth of knotwork, peacocks and vines.
Produced in a monastery founded by St. Columba, probably begun on Iona and finished at Kells.
The peacocks flanking Christ were a symbol of the Resurrection: their flesh was believed incorruptible.
