Initial O: A Camaldolese Saint, cutting from a gradual
A cutting from a choir book, an illuminated initial O with a Camaldolese saint, painted around 1420 by the Master of the Murano Gradual, held by the J. Paul Getty Museum. The picture shows a tonsured monk in white habit with a halo, reading an open book inside an oval frame of blue and gold with white ornament, a design a designer could borrow for a medallion or framed label.
