Mis van Gregorius 1497 - 1552

"Mis van Gregorius" is a miniature painting by Frans Crabbe van Espleghem, executed between 1497 and 1552. The painting depicts a scene of a religious ritual with a priest kneeling in prayer before a vision of Christ on the cross. The scene is framed by a richly adorned architectural setting, further emphasizing the sacred nature of the moment. This small, yet detailed artwork is a testament to the mastery of Flemish manuscript illumination during the 16th century. The image is a great example of the style of this era.
