Italian 13th Century
1250–1299
Italian 13th Century was an artist. 14 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.
This artist shaped the look of church music between 1250 and 1299, painting bold red-and-blue initials on vellum pages meant for choirs. Their work survives as fragments called Leaves 7 and 8 from an antiphonal—each sheet glows with decorated letters set in tempera and ink. Turn to Leaf 3 from the same book to see how the same hands balanced miniature scale with readable grandeur.
