Medieval miniatures were always painted on papers.
Answers
Explanation:
The word miniature, derived from the Latin verb miniare ("to colour with minium," a red lead[1]) indicates a small illustration used to decorate an ancient or medieval illuminated manuscript; the simple illustrations of the early codices having been miniated or delineated with that pigment. The generally small scale of such medieval pictures has led to etymological confusion with minuteness and to its application to small paintings, especially portrait miniatures,[2] which did however grow from the same tradition and at least initially used similar techniques.
Answer:
small painted scenes (called miniatures), intricate borders, ornate chapter letters, and even elaborate full-page paintings were pictured. they were so important because during the medieval times, many people, even those who owned manuscripts, could not read. books were copied mainly for the use of worship.
