Subject
Books of hours.
Illumination of books and manuscripts -- France -- 15th century -- Specimens.
Description
Crucifixion. As usual, Mary and the disciple John stand in mourning. This illumination is full of narration; the centurion Longinus holds a scroll with his words upon it: vere Dei Filius erat iste “truly this was the Son of God.” Another figure pierces Christ, and the flowing blood prefigures the Eucharist. Both the sun and moon appear because, according to tradition, an eclipse occurred at the Crucifixion.
Creator
Possibly the work of the Bedford Master or a follower
