Leaf from a missal
A leaf from a missal, a liturgical book for the Mass, painted around 1460 by Antoine de Lonhy, a Provençal manuscript painter, and held by the J. Paul Getty Museum. The page shows the Virgin Mary enthroned in a gold-rayed mandorla with the Christ child, flanked by angels, lions, and dense floral borders; a designer might borrow its radiant gold sunburst framing, saturated ultramarine ground, and interlocking acanthus-and-flower border patterns.
