The earliest surviving image in a Western illuminated manuscript of the Madonna and Child comes from the Book of Kells of about 800 [19] (there is a similar carved image on the lid of St Cuthbert's coffin of 698) and, though magnificently decorated in the style of Insular art, the drawing of the figures can only be described as rather crude ...

[42] Van der Weyden appears intelligent and handsome, but weather-worn. [43]
