The Four Gospels

A full-page manuscript illumination divided into four rectangular compartments by red borders on a gold ground. Each compartment depicts the martyrdom or figures of saints. Top Left: Depicts the martyrdom of Saint Simeon. A central figure is shown crucified on a black cross, wearing a pink and white omophorion bishop's stole with black crosses. To the left, two smaller figures of bishops are shown in arched frames. Top Right: Depicts a martyrdom scene, likely of Saint Trophimus and companions. An executioner with a raised sword stands over a kneeling saint. Two severed heads with halos are visible to the right. Bottom Left: Depicts Saint Eustathius and his family. Five figures (two adults and three children) are shown behind a large bull-like creature, representing their martyrdom. Bottom Right: Depicts the martyrdom of Saint Quadratus and companions. A saint is shown crucified on the right, while in the foreground, an executioner beheads a kneeling saint.
