Children of the World Praising the Lord
Abstract/Contents
- Description
- The Children of God Praising the Lord (300 x 230) in an initial V. This miniature comes from Corale 3 of the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in Florence. Corale 3 contains the Gradual from Easter Sunday to Trinity Sunday and originally comprised twenty historiated initials. This initial V is for the Introit for the Mass on Thursday during Easter Week. The completion of Corale 3 is assigned to a group of illuminators including Fra Angelico, Zanobbi Strozzi, Bartolomeo di Fruosino and Sanguini under the evident influence of Fra Angelico, as distinguished from Lorenzo Monaco to whom was entrusted the initial decoration of the manuscript. The attribution to Sanguini is complicated by the likely intervention of more than one hand. The four children in the foreground seem to be distinguished from the others not only by their scale, but also by their modeling and by a more sober and at the same time more rhythmical flow of the garments. This second hand is stylistically consistent with Angelico himself according to art historian Gaudenz Freuler. Provenance: This miniature is from the Camaldolese convent of Santa Maria degli Angeli and was brought to England by W.T. Ottley in the early 1800’s.
