First Master of the Cortona Antiphonaries

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of an illuminated manuscript page. The manuscript page contains a detailed initial letter set within a square blue background, and it features a biblical scene involving multiple figures dressed in draped garments. The scene is surrounded by decorative elements, vibrant colors such as blues, reds, and golds, and intricate patterns. Additionally, there are sections of sheet music with square note notations and Latin script. The style resembles medieval illuminated manuscripts, possibly from the Gothic period.
