The Gradual from Santa Maria degli Angeli (Folio 32v) is an exquisite example of medieval manuscript illumination, attributed to the renowned Italian artist Don Silvestro dei Gherarducci. This particular folio is part of a larger gradual, a liturgical book containing the choral parts of the Mass, which was created for the Camaldolese Monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Florence during the late 14th century. Don Silvestro dei Gherarducci, a monk and a master illuminator, was active during the period and is celebrated for his contributions to the art of manuscript illumination.

Folio 32v of this gradual is notable for its intricate and vibrant depiction of religious scenes, which are rendered with a high degree of detail and artistic skill. The illumination typically features a combination of gold leaf, rich pigments, and elaborate designs that exemplify the Gothic style prevalent during the time. The imagery often includes biblical narratives, saints, and decorative motifs that serve both a didactic and aesthetic function, enhancing the spiritual experience of the liturgical text.

Don Silvestro's work is characterized by his meticulous attention to detail, the harmonious composition of figures, and the use of vivid colors that bring the scenes to life. His ability to convey emotion and narrative through his illuminations has earned him a distinguished place in the history of medieval art. The Gradual from Santa Maria degli Angeli is not only a testament to his artistic prowess but also provides valuable insight into the religious and cultural milieu of 14th-century Florence.

The preservation of Folio 32v and other parts of the gradual allows contemporary audiences to appreciate the craftsmanship and devotional intensity of medieval manuscript illumination. It stands as a significant artifact within the broader context of Gothic art and the rich tradition of monastic scholarship and artistry.
