The most impressive thing to think about for me is the egg tempera. Like how many eggs we talking here? Were there that many chickens laying per day? The logistics of this is mind blowing. Also, I wonder where the gold for the leafing was coming from. Then comes all the resin or rabbit skin glue… it seems to me everyone in the region would be some form of supplier, worker or transporter for the sheer volume this project required. Which makes me think the artists themselves were very well known. It’s just history that has lost them!

Looks like it may have inspired the abandoned monastery in BG3
