Missale: Fol. 225: Chalice with Host

Bartolommeo Caporali

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open, aged book page with black text in an old language, likely Latin, written in a Gothic script. The left side margin has a large decorative capital letter "R" in blue ink with a red and gold design on the right side. The capital letter is surrounded by colorful floral designs and a peacock. Inside the capital letter is an illustration of a chalice with a white host on top. The chalice sits on a pink and gold patterned cloth. The background of the illustration is blue with a pink and gold border. The right side of the page contains more black text in the same Gothic script, with some words highlighted in red. The paper of the book page is aged and yellowed.
