Missale: Fol. 192v: Resurrection of Christ

Bartolommeo Caporali

Cleveland Museum of Art

An illuminated manuscript page with a central illustration of the Resurrection of Christ, depicting Jesus emerging from a tomb. The illustration is surrounded by a decorative border with green leaves and blue and pink floral patterns. The border extends to the top and left side of the page, featuring blue and green curving lines with flowers and buds. The main body of the page contains black, red, and blue medieval-style text, arranged in two columns. The text includes large red, blue, and black initial letters. The page has a beige background, with fainter red decorative lines. A small, teardrop-shaped illustration with pink and white details and a black outline is located at the bottom right corner. The artwork style and text suggest a 15th-century Italian origin. The image includes a painting of Jesus standing in a pink and green tomb. Jesus has a halo and wears a pink robe and green sash. The painting's color palette includes shades of green, blue, pink, and red. The overall design combines visual elements of art, architecture, and literature.
