- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: C-29718 MEDIEVAL TREASURE AT CLEVELAND MUSEUM CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Scenes from the life of Christ are depicted in these miniature paintings taken from pages of the Gotha Missal -- a medieval Mass book recently acquired by the Cleveland Museum of Art. Containing the main body of the missal and the Church calendar, the 164-page work is French and dates from 1375. Thought to be made for Charles V of France, it is known as the Gotha Missal because it was once owned by the Duke of Gotha in Germany. The manuscript has been attributed to Jean Bondol, French court painter and valet de chambre of Charles V at that time. At tope is the book opened up to illustrations entitled “The Crucifixion,” at left, and “Christ in Majesty.” Miniature scenes at the bottom are (from left): “The Annunciation,” in which Mary learns from the Angel Gabriel that she is to be the mother of Christ; “The Resurrection;” and “The Trinity,” a representation of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
