Description
Vellum leaf from a French, very probably Parisian, missal with a woodcut on both sides: on the recto the Crucifixion with Jerusalem in the background. Standing near the cross are Mary and John, both weeping. Above the cross the initials I.N.R.I. [ = Jesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum , Jesus from Nazareth, King of the Jews.] Next to this the sun and the moon.
The whole picture within an architectural border.
The verso shows God the Father, sitting on a throne and surrounded by angels. In the corners are the symbols of the four evangelists : the eagle for John, the angel for Matthew, the lion for Mark and the ox for Luke.
