The Creed 1445 - 1475

"The Creed" is an anonymous 15th-century illuminated manuscript, depicting scenes from the life of Christ. The artwork is divided into 12 individual scenes, each with a Latin inscription describing the event. The scenes are framed in black and set against a green background. The figures are small and rendered in a simple, almost childlike style. This work is a valuable example of the devotional art of the late Middle Ages. "The Creed" is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, NY.
