"Virgo" is an illuminated manuscript page created by the artist Claricia, who was active around the year 1200. This page likely comes from a larger book of hours, a type of prayer book popular in the Middle Ages. The page is decorated with a miniature of Virgo, a symbol for the Virgin Mary. The image is set within an archway, and the page includes a calendar with liturgical information. This work is an example of the intricate craftsmanship and religious devotion that characterized medieval art.
