La Passion de nostre seigneur ihesus christ
A late fifteenth-century illuminated manuscript of the Passion of Christ, made around 1480 in France for a devotional readership, held by the J. Paul Getty Museum. Its pictures are small painted miniatures with gold, saturated blue, purple and red, set in architectural interiors above blocks of French gothic text with decorated initials. A designer could take from them the framed scene-over-text layout, the rich jewel-toned palette, and the compact crowded arrangements of figures in period dress.
