Domini This single vellum leaf was originally part of a psalter, or collection of psalms and prayers, of which only five leaves have survived -- including one housed at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. It was painted in the southern German city of Augsburg, c. 1260, in the style known as Zackenstil, identifiable by the careful rendering of the drapery. The page is illuminated on both sides; on the reverse is a depiction of the Ascension of Christ. next » |
