The Gradual from Santa Maria degli Angeli (Folio 90) is an exquisite example of medieval manuscript illumination, attributed to the renowned Italian artist Don Silvestro dei Gherarducci. Created in the late 14th century, this folio is part of a larger gradual, a liturgical book containing the choral parts of the Mass. Don Silvestro dei Gherarducci, a Camaldolese monk, was active in Florence and is celebrated for his contributions to the art of manuscript illumination during the Gothic period.

Folio 90 of the Gradual from Santa Maria degli Angeli is particularly noted for its intricate and vibrant decoration, which exemplifies the Gothic style's emphasis on elaborate detail and rich coloration. The folio features a large historiated initial, a common feature in medieval manuscripts where the first letter of a section is adorned with intricate designs and often includes miniature scenes. This initial is surrounded by an array of floral motifs, interlacing vines, and fantastical creatures, all rendered with meticulous precision and vivid hues.

The central scene within the historiated initial typically depicts a religious narrative, reflecting the manuscript's liturgical purpose. Don Silvestro's work is characterized by his delicate brushwork, sophisticated use of color, and the ability to convey narrative and emotion within the confined space of the manuscript page. His style shows the influence of both Byzantine and Italian Gothic traditions, merging them into a unique and harmonious aesthetic.

The Gradual from Santa Maria degli Angeli, including Folio 90, is not only a testament to Don Silvestro dei Gherarducci's artistic skill but also provides valuable insight into the religious and cultural milieu of 14th-century Florence. The manuscript is preserved today as a significant artifact of medieval art, offering a glimpse into the devotional practices and artistic achievements of the period.
