Missale: Fol. 141v: Saint John with Eagle

Bartolommeo Caporali

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open book with yellowed pages. The book's page on the right displays a colorful illustration, while the left page contains black and red text written in an old-fashioned font. The illustration depicts a man with a halo, dressed in a pink robe and blue cloak, seated and holding an open book. To the man's right is a bird with brown and white feathers and outstretched wings. The illustration is framed by a green, blue, and gold border with a floral design extending down the page. The text on the left page is arranged in columns with some letters larger than others. The overall appearance suggests that the book is an old, possibly medieval, religious manuscript.
