Framed Print of Decorated initial D: Saint John the Baptist, about 1470-1480. Creator: Cosme Tura
Decorated initial D: Saint John the Baptist, about 1470-1480.
Additional Info:The isolated figure of John the Baptist is set against a harsh, minimal landscape. He points up toward heaven with a brittle finger and looks down reflectively toward the inhospitable earth. The Latin words on his winding scroll, taken from the Bible, explain the barren setting, Ego vox clamantis [in deserto] (I am the voice crying aloud in the wilderness). The cutting comes from a Franciscan gradual (the choir book containing the sung portions of the mass) illuminated by the important fifteenth-century Italian artist, Cosmè Tura, official court artist to the prominent Este family of Ferrara. Tura imbues the scene with a sense of palpable melancholy, not only through the sensitively rendered face of Saint John, but also through the stark landscape and muted colors of the miniature. Cutting from a Franciscan gradual, attributed to Cosmè Tura. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © Heritage Art/Heritage Images
