Fragment with Christ before Pilate from the Gradual of St. Katharinental (Thurgau)
A fragment of a illuminated gradual, a liturgical choir book, made around 1312 at the Dominican convent of St. Katharinental in Thurgau, Switzerland, for use in its services. The surviving scene shows robed figures in gold-ground painting, and a designer might take its flat gold backgrounds, bold red and green draperies, and ornate border decoration as models for medieval-style palettes.
