1101

From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Christ in Majesty [recto] is a 1101 by French 12th Century, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting is called Christ in Majesty. It's from the early 12th century, which is interesting because that was a time when art was often used to tell stories from the Bible. The fact that it's a miniature on vellum also suggests it might have been part of a book or manuscript. You can learn more about this kind of art at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
In the early 12th century, a French artist illuminated vellum with vivid miniatures that brought biblical scenes to life.
