Last Judgement (Seven Requests to our Lord)

This miniature displays the salient features of the Rohan Master’s style: the juxtaposition of super-large and extra-small, Christ’s facial type (hotspot 1) and skeletal frame, and the background angels highlighted in gold ink. The idiosyncratic underdrawing is visible to the naked eye through the thin pink washes on Christ’s drapery. Infrared imaging clearly reveals the festoons of loops cascading down or congregating into pools of drapery folds (see Infrared Layer). On the surface, the folds and shadows are defined by thin parallel strokes of dark green and pink over the lighter green and white base layers (hotspots 2 and 3).
