Two Miniatures, Possibly from a Manuscript
Two framed miniatures, probably leaves from a manuscript, painted around 1400 by the Master of St. Veronica and held by the J. Paul Getty Museum. The first shows the Crucifixion with mourners and a mounted-looking armoured soldier at the foot of the cross, while the second shows a preaching saint with a crowd and animals below. Both are set in gilded Gothic tracery frames, with the first on a blue lattice ground and the second on a gold diapered ground, which offers a designer ready examples of medieval framing and gold-and-blue colour pairing.
