Unknownabout 1525 - 1530
The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States
The border of this page consists of painting designed to appear as golden architecture set against a red background. Delicate tracerywork creates niches for a series of illusionistic sculptures. The border frames a text that discusses the way Christ was scorned and mocked before Herod, the subject of the illumination on the facing page.
