介绍（中）	缠绕在首字母"D"周围的是一个复杂的装饰设计，由精心渲染的自然主义花朵组成，右上角可以看到一部分乐谱。在首都"D"是描绘基督进入圣殿的形象场景。洛伦佐·摩纳哥（Lorenzo Monaco）绘制的这幅非常早期、极为罕见、精心构建的画作是为一幅未完成的、没有颜色的照明手稿准备的，该手稿将作为佛罗伦萨圣玛利亚教堂（Santa Maria degli Angeli）著名唱诗班书籍的一页。这里看到的蜿蜒优雅的人物是晚期哥特式风格的美丽例子。这幅画可以追溯到意大利艺术家刚刚开始使用纸张和羊皮纸对思想进行创造性探索的时候。洛伦佐·摩纳哥（Lorenzo Monaco）是15世纪早期佛罗伦萨照明的最伟大大师，他在这幅画中的工作过程具有启示性，尤其是他以更大的表达自发性绘制了首字母内部的人物场景，用水洗建模，但只是以细致的精度勾勒出了大型树叶装饰（卡门C.班巴赫）
介绍（英）	Wound around the initial "D" is a complex ornamental design of exquisitely rendered naturalistic flowers, and a portion of musical notation is visible at upper right. Within the capital "D" is a figural scene depicting Christ entering the Temple. This very early, extremely rare, and carefully constructed drawing by Lorenzo Monaco was intended for an illuminated manuscript which was left unfinished, without color, and which was to be included as one of the pages of the famous choir books for the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Florence. The sinuous, elegant figures seen here are beautiful examples of the late Gothic style. The drawing dates from a time when Italian artists were just beginning to use paper and parchment for a creative exploration of ideas. Lorenzo Monaco was the greatest master of early-fifteenth-century Florentine illumination, and his working process in this drawing is revelatory, especially in that he drew the figural scene inside the initial with greater expressive spontaneity, modeling the forms with wash, but simply outlined the large foliage ornament with meticulous precision. (Carmen C. Bambach)
