Saint Clare of Assisi 1470 - 1480

This miniature, likely from a 15th-century illuminated manuscript, depicts Saint Clare of Assisi. She is shown in her traditional habit, holding a monstrance, a vessel used for displaying the consecrated Host for veneration. The depiction's style, with its delicate lines and vibrant colors, reflects the characteristic features of Northern European manuscript illumination during this period. The presence of the floral motifs further underscores the association of Saint Clare with both faith and nature.
