Leaf from an Antiphonary: Coronation of the Virgin

Master of the Beffi Triptych

Cleveland Museum of Art

A manuscript leaf with an illustration of the Coronation of the Virgin. The leaf is rectangular with a beige background and a border of colorful designs and text at the top. The illustration is a rectangle with a gold background and depicts the Virgin Mary sitting on a throne with a man, wearing a blue robe, on her right. The Virgin wears a white robe and a blue mantle and sits with her hands clasped. Seven angels surround them; two kneel at the bottom of the throne, four stand on either side and one stands behind the man. The throne is on a raised platform. The border around the illustration is ornate with colorful designs, stars, flowers, and gold accents. The text at the top appears to be in Latin and is written in brown and red ink.
