Story: 

The original manuscript, Spiez Illuminated Chronicle represents the end of the glorious series of city chronicles by Diebold Schilling. It is the chronicler’s most artistically significant work and gives proof of the Bernese master’s talent one last time with its exceptionally rousing illustrations. Rudolf von Erlach, a Bernese knight and friend of Schilling’s, commissioned the work in the early 1480’s. Schilling was responsible for both the elegant script and the 344 masterful miniatures that differ greatly in style to those in earlier chronicles and consist of pen and ink drawings glazed in different colors. Many seamlessly intertwine plotlines in the fore- and backgrounds while the human figures, usually, depicted with large eyes and serene expressions, are unusually realistic for the period
