PLATE I.
THE CORONATION OF POPE BONIFACE IX.
Pope Clement of Avignon, on hearing of the death of Urban VI. of Rome,
assembled a conclave of Cardinals of his party, and strong hopes were
entertained that the schism in the Church would be put an end to;
nevertheless the Cardinals at Rome immediately elected Perrin de
Tomacelli, Cardinal of Naples, who was crowned with great solemnity in
October 1389, and took the name and title of Boniface IX., Clement
continuing to act as Pope at Avignon. The composition of this
illumination is arranged with great simplicity; the faces are of
appropriate character and expression, and from their great variety and
carefully varied features, it appears probable that some of them may be
actual portraits of the individuals represented. It is coloured with
exceeding richness; the flow and disposition of some of the drapery is
almost equal to Albert Durer; and the linear perspective is pretty
nearly correct.
