The decoration of the Načeradec missal

Abstracts

EN

The missal of Načeradec is a modest codex from an artistic point of view. Its decoration is limited to one figural illumination only – a canon depiction of the Crucifixion; besides this, the manuscript contains only filigree initials and clerical capitals. The quality of its figural decoration is comparatively high. Its style is post-classical Gothic; linear pleats of the draperies imply a date in the beginning of the 14th century. Only a few analogies can be found in simultaneous book painting, e.g. in the decoration of the manuscripts of Eliška (Elisabeth) Rejčka, but these analogies are not immediate. Some correspondence, however, can be found in monumental art, more precisely in mural painting.
