Introduction by SmartSE

Reflinks will help you to turn bare urls into templated references, hopefully leaving you more time to write and reducing link rot caused by bare urls. The tool visits each webpage that is in a bare reference and collects the page title and some other information automatically, the tool has to be checked over manually to make sure that the references are filled in correctly by the tool. You may have to remove some extra information from the template and add extra details if the tool is not able to find it for you. Some links may be marked as dead links incorrectly as the site blocks the tool, you may wish to manually check these dead links before adding the dead link tag to the article. The tool also does a few other minor maintenance tasks.

A '''limner''' is an [[illuminated manuscript|illuminator of manuscripts]], or more generally, a painter of ornamental decoration. One of the earliest mentions of a limner's work is found in the book ''Methods and Materials of Painting'' by [[Charles Lock Eastlake]] (1793–1865).

{{quote|"The treatises cannot be placed later than the thirteenth or beginning of the fourteenth century. This was the age of [[Dante]], and "the art which in Paris was called illuminating" (limning)."{{Citation needed|date=November 2010}} }}

==Scotland==

The office of Her Majesty's [[Painter and Limner]] is a position within the [[Great Officer of State|Royal Household]] unique to Scotland. The position of portrait painter to the royal household is honorary and for life.

==United States==

In early 19th Century America a limner artist was one who had little if no formal training.  They would travel from place to place to solicit commissions.

Among colonial America's rising mercantile class, a limner was an unattributed [[portrait]] commissioned as a status symbol. The local landowners and merchants who commissioned these portraits posed in their finest clothes, in well-appointed interiors, or in landscapes that identified their position, property, good taste, and sophistication.

A late named artist who began in this genre is the [[Maine]] landscape artist [[Charles Codman]], who in Eastern Argus (April 1, 1831) is described as an "ornamental and sign painter" or "limner" who practiced "Military, Standard, Fancy, Ornamental, Masonic and Sign Painting".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tfaoi.com/aa/3aa/3aa654.htm |title="The Real Pioneer of Art in this City": Charles Codman and the Rise of Landscape Painting in Portland, Maine, essay by Jessica Nicoll |publisher=Tfaoi.com |date=2003-07-12 |accessdate=2013-05-24}}</ref>
