Master of the Geneva Latini

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts an open book, possibly a medieval manuscript, with a central text block containing brown handwritten text on yellowed parchment, featuring a mix of capital and non-capital letters written in a curved line. On the right side of the text block, a vibrant illuminated design showcases blue, green, white, and gold floral patterns against a white background. The design features stems with leaves and flowers. A thin red line borders the right and bottom edges of the text and design. The edges of the parchment exhibit darker spots and discoloration, while a faint grid pattern is visible behind the text and design, indicating guidelines for the text and artwork. The left edge of the parchment displays fainter guidelines and worn areas.
