Cutting from an antiphonal
A leaf cut from a liturgical choir book called an antiphonal, painted around 1330 in Italy by the Master of the Antiphonary of San Giovanni Fuorcivitas for use in church services. The painting shows a robed figure with a gold halo laying a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a green robe, with an angel above and gold-leaf borders with stylised green leaves, offering a designer flat gold grounds, saturated ultramarine and vermilion, and elongated gestural figures.
