This illuminated manuscript page depicts the Saints Ulrich and Afra, likely created by Claricia, an artist active in the early 13th century. The saints stand within an architectural setting, a common artistic motif in medieval art that symbolizes their heavenly abode. The detailed rendering of their clothing and the stylized architectural elements are characteristic of the Gothic style, which emphasizes linear detail and vibrant colors. This work provides a glimpse into the devotion and artistic practice of the time.
