Miniature of the Crucifixion ('The Wyndham Payne Crucifixion')
- Scope & Content:
-
A single leaf of a miniature of the Crucifixion, blank on the verso, probably excised from a Missal (perhaps facing the Canon of the Mass, or a prayer of consecration) as suggested by the narrower right and wider left margins (typical of the verso of a leaf in a book), and the cross in the lower margin, which the priest would kiss during the performance of the Mass. Seven holes along the lower margin and tears along the upper margin with rusty stains suggest that the leaf was once nailed to a support.
The miniature has been arttributed to Herman Scheerre, by Rickert, Painting in Britain (1954) and Turner, Wyndham Payne Crucifixion (1976), but questioned by Scott, Later Gothic Manuscripts (1997).
