Circle of the Master of the Gradual of Cortona

Annunciation, historiated initial ‘M’ on a leaf from a choirbook, in Latin, illuminated manuscript on vellum [Siena, c.1300]

A very handsome choirbook leaf with a fine, large miniature painted in the style of the Master of the Gradual of Cortona, named after a Franciscan Gradual produced c.1290 for the church of San Francesco in Cortona (now Vatican City, BAV, Graduale, Ross. 612).



c.530 x 360mm. The Annunciation opening the text of the first antiphon at Vespers for the feast of the Annunciation ('Missus est Gabriel Angelus [...]'). Framed.



The soft colours and heavy eyebrows of the figures are characteristically Sienese and the general compositional style can be compared to a small number of works attributed to the Master of the Gradual of Cortona. Among these, an initial 'A' with Christ in Majesty previously in the collection of Eric Korner, Sotheby's 9 July 2009, lot 104 (see A. Labriola, 'La miniatura nei libri francescani: devozione e ideologia', L'arte di Francesco. Capolavori d'arte italiana e terre d'Asia dal XIII al XV secolo, exh. cat., Florence, Galleria dell'Accademia, 2015, p.137 and A. Labriola, C. De Benedictis, G. Freuler, La miniatura senese 1270-1420, Siena, 2002, p.30 and pp.262- 265).
