Bohemian Miniaturist
St. Benedict

Vellum, 15,5 x 16,1 cm
Museum of Fine Arts,
Budapest
"The picture was cut
out from a so-called antiphonary (which is a manuscript containing
liturgical
texts and music) along the line of its frame. When and why this
happened
is not known. The picture originated from the workshop of an artist
known
as The Master of the Martyrologium of Gerona, who, in the first two
decades
of the fifteenth century, was one of the most important figures in
Bohemian
miniature painting."
