This illuminated manuscript page, created by the Limbourg brothers around 1408, depicts the ascension of St. Catherine's body to Mount Sinai. The scene showcases the vibrant colors and intricate details characteristic of the International Gothic style, with delicate gold leaf accents and a vibrant blue sky. The angels, adorned with intricate wings and flowing garments, gracefully carry the saint’s body toward the mountain peak, while a group of figures below witness the miraculous event. This work is a testament to the artistry of the Limbourg brothers and their mastery of religious iconography.
