Initial D[eus in loco] with a Prophet Excised from a Gradual

Lorenzo Monaco

Cleveland Museum of Art

The artwork depicts a central figure of a man encircled by a gold oval with a blue border. He wears a yellow robe with a red cloak draped over his shoulders and a yellow head covering. The man holds a scroll in his right hand and appears to point downward with his left. The oval is surrounded by a white background adorned with gold leaf and intricate floral patterns in shades of blue, red, orange, and green. The floral designs extend outward from the oval, filling the square space. The background of the artwork features off-white parchment with some darker spots and a thin red line along the bottom edge.
