Christus als Salvator mundi

Deutsche Grafik 1470–1480, um 1475

This is a drawing of a religious manuscript page. The central part of the image contains an illustration of a religious figure, characterized by a halo, wearing ornate robes in red and blue with gold detailing, holding a scepter topped with a cross in one hand and making a gesture with the other. The illustration is set within a framed oval and topped with the Latin phrase. Surrounding the illustration, there is dense, neat calligraphic text written in Latin. Each page corner hosts circular elements detailing the four Evangelists - John, Luke, Mark, and Matthew - with text that seems to elaborate on their contributions.
