    Death of the Virgin
    0 references
    This miniature was most likely taken from a book of hours. The Death of the Virgin often appears at the beginning of the prayers recited at Compline. The miniature was painted by a member of the Gold Scrolls Group, the name given to a circle of artists working in Bruges, ca. 1415-1455. The name derives from the group's frequent use of gold foliate ornament painted on backgrounds of flat color.
