LLANGATTOCK BREVIARY LEAF Ref 454 verso detail
Note : - Ref Nos 283, 294 and 364 are from the same manuscript.
This is an historiated initial from the superbly illuminated Llangattock Breviary produced in Ferrara, Italy, c.1441-1448.
Set within the bowl of the "P" is a younger man sat on a stool, at his writing desk, begining the writing of a copy of the Acts of the Apostles. He wears grand green and white vestments and is in a room with a paneled gold cieling. Above him is a halo. The initial begins the text from the Acts of the Apostles and there is little doubt that we are looking at the author of that text, Saint Luke, writing it. The overall size of the initial is 45mm x 21mm (1 3/4ins. x 17/20ins.).
The historiation is not quite in perfect condition. I has a small area of blue pigment missing.
