The tradition does not belong to the painter; the art alone is his. True arrangement and disposition belong to the holy fathers who established it.</i> Seeing in the art of the Middle Ages a faithful and vigorous expression of that tradition, I draw much of my inspiration from Gothic illuminated manuscripts, panel paintings and tapestries. I am especially interested in the symbolism and metaphysic presented in medieval art. <br> <br> Ink drawing on calfskin is my preferred medium. I am currently accepting commissions; e-mail me at danielmitsuiartist at gmail dot com if you are interested. <br> <br> <hr> </span> <span class="style3"> </center> <br> <br> <br> <center> <a href="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/00_pages/religious_original.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="ORIGINAL DRAWINGS for SALE" src="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/00_misc/front_religious_original.gif"></a> <br> <br> <a href="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/00_pages/millefleur.html#PRINTS" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="LETTERPRESS PRINTS" src="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/00_misc/front_religious_letterpress.gif"></a> <br> <br> <a href="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/00_pages/religious_giclee.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="GICLEE PRINTS" src="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/00_misc/front_religious_giclee.gif"></a> <br> <br> <a href="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/00_pages/altar_cards.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="ALTAR CARDS" src="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/00_misc/front_religious_altar_cards.gif"></a> <!-- <br> <br> <a href="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/00_pages/religious_posters.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="POSTERS" src="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/00_misc/front_religious_posters.gif"></a> --> <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/00_pages/order.html" target="_blank">ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS & GENERAL INFORMATION</a> <br> <br> <img border="0" alt="all works copyright Daniel Mitsui / danielmitsuiartist at gmail dot com" src="http://danielmitsui.tripod.com/00_misc/footer1.jpg"> </center> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br></span></body></html>
