Missale: Fol. 318v: Saint Francis

Bartolommeo Caporali

Cleveland Museum of Art

A medieval manuscript page with text in black, red, and blue ink. The text is written in an old language, likely Latin, in a Gothic script. The page is decorated with colorful illuminated letters and a central image of a man in a brown robe, surrounded by a gold border. The man has a bald head with a halo and holds his right hand up in a gesture and an object in his left hand. The image of the man is circular and framed in a gold circle with a pink and green background. The page has a beige background with some darker spots and marks. Decorative swirling patterns are drawn in the bottom corners and a large initial letter is drawn on the left side. The overall design and style suggest a 15th-century Italian manuscript.
