After seeing this art work by Benjamin Harff I could only say one word and that was marvelous. It’s not easy to create something like this. It was colorful and very detailed work. The colors used a very beautiful and variant. It is definitely time consuming job but then the result achieved after devoting so much time is great and I have full respect for the artist who gave so much time to this. It’s beautiful and attractive and this shows the dedication of an artist towards his work. Manuscripts are a long forgotten artwork and Harff brought that into existence again which is amazing.
