The artwork, titled “The Revealing of the True Cross,” was created by the Limbourg brothers and belongs to the International Gothic art movement. It is an illustration from the renowned series “Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry.”
The artwork is a detailed and vivid depiction framed with intricate golden architectural elements adorned with sculptures. It portrays an event with several figures in medieval attire, centered around a woman in white who appears to be supine, while others are gathered around her, seemingly engaged in a significant act or ritual. The background features a serene landscape with rolling hills, a body of water, and a distant fortress, all rendered with the characteristic precision and delicate detail of the International Gothic style. The scene is further embellished with cherubs and Latin inscriptions, adding to the illustration’s rich iconographic and decorative quality.
