All Saints; Prayer Book of Charles the Bold, 1469. Additional Info: Within a deep landscape, saints approach from every direction. Ecclesiastical saints and kings stand on the left: Saint Jerome wears a cardinal's outfit and his lion crouches at his feet. The elderly hermit saints Anthony Abbot and Paul sit against rocky boulders on the right. In the middle ground, military saints in full armor ride gracefully along the center path, while behind them, female saints make their way down a hill at the right just as monastic saints do on the left. In the middle distance stands a draped cross surmounted by the lamb of God.
