Johannes Grusch Atelier (France, Paris)Pair of Leaves from a Latin Bible:Initial I: Elimelech and Naomi (opening of Bookof Ruth) and Initial P: St. Paul Holding a Sword (St. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians), about 1250Ink, tempera, and gold on vellumThe Jeanne Miles Blackburn Collection [Cat nos. 7 (CMA 1999.123) and 8]The Johannes Grusch workshop is named for the canon responsible for copying one of its Bibles in 1267. The shop first appears on the scene during the late 1230s, and an oeuvre of 39 manuscripts has been identified. The workshop's oldest dated work is a missal made for Rouen Cathedral between 1235 and 1245.The style used by the Grusch artists consists of flat little figures with inked draperies of a fairly irregular sort. The figures have white heads with small features, short-bearded chins on the men, and pursed mouths. The ornament includes vine scrolls that loop around themselves, as well as a variety of grotesque and hybrid monsters. Another feature of the style is the treatment of the hair, arranged in neat rows of curls. A large number of painters were apparently associated with this workshop, which changed its style considerably over its 30-year period of activity. Its paintings can be divided into early, middle, and late styles.
