All works by this person →

One of the most talented Lombard illuminators of the second half of the 1400s, Bartolomeo Rigossi painted and signed an initial in a choir book that a local noble gave to the cathedral at Monferrato.

This expressive narrative and these creative effects of light and color reveal his inventiveness. The *N* , removed from a choir book at some point in the past, was the first letter of a chant sung during the Easter season. The scene is a variation of an episode described in the Gospel of John: Mary Magdalene, distressed at finding Christ's tomb empty, at first mistook the risen Christ for a gardener. Here the handle of a gardener's spade also serves as the staff of the banner of the Resurrection. Another historiated initial by Rigossi depicting the women at the tomb may have been taken from the same choir book.

What the image shows

A religious scene depicting a resurrected figure interacting with three kneeling figures in a pastoral landscape.

Generated by LinkedCulture from the photograph alone, without the museum’s catalogue text (Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct), and not yet reviewed by a person. It describes the picture, not the object’s history, and it is not part of the museum’s record.
