From the Invention of the Renaissance

Antiphonary by the Master of Santa Cecilia
August 12, 2024

This magnificent antiphonary is painted by one of most outstanding assistants of Giotto di Bondone, the Master of Santa Cecilia. Large choir books like this are very rare to find, especially in such an excellent condition. Its 10 large historiated initials are a highly important testimony of Florentine Illumination at the dawn of the Renaissance. It is a great pleasure to present such an ancient and wonderful artwork in this excellent state.

 

The Master of Santa Cecilia Antiphonary. Manuscript in Latin on vellum illuminated by the Master of Santa Cecilia. Italy, Florence, c. 1300-1305.

 

To see this and other splendid manuscripts in person, visit us at our stand F5 at Frieze Masters London, from 9-13 October at The Regent’s Park. We look forward to welcome you at our stand!
