# The Breslauer Epiphany [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SIMONE CAMALDOLESE, Don]() - Date: 1351-1400 - Technique: Tempera and gold on parchment, 592 x 415 mm ## Commentary The Breslauer Epiphany 1390s Tempera and gold on parchment, 592 x 415 mm Bernard H. Breslauer, New York The initial E encloses the Adoration of the Magi. The blue initial, lined with yellow and decorated with orange, green, pink, gray, and blue foliage, is set against a tooled gold ground bordered by a ruled yellow-and-pink painted frame. The foliate decoration extends the full height of the page along its left margin and its full width along the top and bottom. A comparison of the scene of the Adoration of the Magi on this page with four other examples of the same subject painted by Don Simone suggests that the design, though not the execution, of the Breslauer illumination must be attributed to Don Simone. The execution is by an unknown artist called after this page the Master of the Breslauer Epiphany. ## Related artworks - [Antiphonary \(Folio 51\)]() - [Antiphonary]() - [Gradual \(fragment\)]() - [Gradual \(fragment\)]() - [Gradual \(Volume 1, folio 1r\)]() - [Gradual \(Volume 2, folio 1v\)]() - [Initial "A" from the Antiphonary \(Choir Book 39\)]() - [St Benedict Giving the Rule of His Order in an initial V]() - [The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri \(Folio 11\)]() - [The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri \(Folio 27v\)]() - [The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri \(Folio 54r\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
