Medieval oak leaf theme

The tree, branches, leaves and acorns of oak were very popular in the Middle Ages as a symbol of strength, fame and nobility, but also durability, stability and longevity. Oak elements were placed on coats of arms, used in architecture, decorated with patterned materials, and their shape was used to finish the outfits with so-called cutouts.

Oak leaves can be found in manuscripts (e.g. Codex Manesse from 1300-1340, Book of Hours from 1418 or the books of Christine de Pisan from the 15th century), but also in paintings and frescoes (e.g. works by Domenico Ghirlandaio from the late fifteenth century).
