Boucicaut Master

Cleveland Museum of Art

Medieval-style illustration of a crucifixion scene. The scene is set within an arched frame. Jesus Christ is on the cross. He has a halo and is naked. His arms are outstretched. There are three people below him: - A woman in a blue dress with a gold hem and a halo. - A man in a red cloak and blue tunic with a halo. - The man holds a book. There are two angels with wings and haloes collecting blood from Jesus' hands. The background of the scene is blue with gold stars. The frame is gold with blue, red, and green designs. The border around the frame has floral designs with blue, red, orange, and green colors on a beige background. There is black text at the bottom right. The text is in Latin. The image is likely from a book. The image has aged, with visible signs of wear on the paper.
