"Capricorn" is a medieval illuminated manuscript page by Claricia, an artist who worked around the 1200s. This page depicts the astrological sign of Capricorn, a goat-like creature, in the context of a calendar. The text, written in Latin, likely refers to the dates and events associated with the month of December, including the feast days of St. Barbara and St. Lucy. This is a typical example of medieval art where the focus was not just on beautiful decoration, but also on disseminating information and religious knowledge.
