EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning missal page, dating back to the School of Avignon in 1409, showcases a powerful and intricately detailed scene of the Crucifixion. Hailing from the Gothic art tradition and executed as a miniature painting, this masterpiece originated in Spain, specifically in Madrid, within the Autonomous Community. The vertical composition of the image emphasizes the height and grandeur of the cross, with the figure of Christ at its center, his arms outstretched and nailed to the wood. A group of mourning figures, including Mary, John the Evangelist, and the Virgin Mary, surround the cross, their faces etched with sorrow and despair. The rich colors and fine details of this illuminated manuscript reflect the deep religious beliefs of the medieval period, a time when the Western world was heavily influenced by the Christian faith. The intricate armament and arming of the figures, as well as the use of weapons, underscore the significance of the Crucifixion as a powerful ritual of worship and sacrifice. This beautiful and poignant work of art serves as a testament to the enduring power of religious belief and the artistic achievements of the European Middle Ages.
