Collection of Masses for High Feasts

Production of Artwork · 1410 · 16 pictures

A devotional manuscript of mass texts for major feasts, made around 1410 and held by the J. Paul Getty Museum; its miniatures were painted for a patron who used the liturgy in private prayer. The pictures are small framed scenes on gold-patterned grounds with gilded vine borders, showing blue and red robes, gold haloes and simple architectural settings, useful for a designer seeking medieval manuscript palettes and ornamental frames.
