Missal from the Collegium Ducale

Production of Artwork · 1420 · 1 picture

A 1420 illuminated missal, a liturgical prayer book made for the Collegium Ducale and held today by the J. Paul Getty Museum, with its artist unrecorded. The page shows the Crucifixion within a green and gold frame, flanked by the Virgin in blue and a saint in green, with a small roundel of a figure in a bath below and gilded scrolling foliage around the margins; a designer might take its gold-ground patterning, pastel borders and framed-medallion layout.
