14. Miniature, Central Italy, Late 13th Century [Illuminated manuscript miniature on vellum. Central Italy, ca. 1250] Historiated initial “U” of a standing saint, cut to shape from a choir-book. A well-painted initial of a man, probably Saint Paul, in flowing blue and pink robes holding a book to which he gestures. Italian miniature paintings of this period are known to be difficult to localize accurately, but as the face has strongly drawn, well-proportioned features, it might well have originated in central Italy. $5,750 |
