# Gradual \(fragment\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SIMONE CAMALDOLESE, Don]() - Date: 1351-1400 - Technique: Tempera and gold on parchment, 280 x 240 mm ## Commentary During the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, a book production enterprise operated in the convent Santa Maria degli Angeli in Florence. It involved a number of Camaldolesi illuminators who collaborated with convent scribes, rubricators, authors, and binders. Several manuscripts are known which were executed by the Camaldolesi monks of Santa Maria degli Angeli during the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries. The initial on this cutting must have been painted on the verso of the first page of a gradual, since its reverse is blank. The scenes within the initial R are the Resurrection and the Three Marys at the Tomb. As one of only two signed and dated works by Don Simone, The Resurrection is an important document in the reconstruction and critical appraisal of the artist's work. ## Related artworks - [Antiphonary \(Folio 51\)]() - [Antiphonary]() - [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 Breslauer Epiphany]() - [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]()
