Leaf from a Book of Hours: Christ in Judgment

Boucicaut Master

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a medieval manuscript page titled "Christ in Judgment" by the Boucicaut Master. The page has a central rectangular panel with a gold border containing an illustration. The illustration depicts Christ sitting on a hill with a blue and orange robe. Christ has a halo and his torso is bare. He holds his right hand up and his left hand down. Two angels on either side hold a cross and a pillar. The background of the illustration is blue with stars at the top and brown on the bottom. The border around the illustration is gold with blue, red, and black designs. The border is surrounded by a white margin with a floral pattern. Below the illustration, there is a section with black text and a gold and blue circular design. The text is written in an old language and appears to be in a formal script. The overall design and style suggest a 15th-century illuminated manuscript.
