Premier Sero e Luce / Cero e Luce

Kingdom Arts and Sciences Scroll

Based on the Wyndham Payne Crucifixion

The Wyndham Payne Crucifixion was created in England, probably in London, c. 1405-1410.  This is a detached leaf with no text sized 375x260 mm.  Its name comes from a former owner, who bought it in a Cirencester antique shop, believing it to be a reproduction.  The miniature (not shown) may be associated with Herman Scheerre, an illuminator from the Lower Rhineland, who spent most of his life working in England.
