Hi everyone,
Discussions in the Ladies with Rings thread often connected to the imagery on f85r2 aka the Four Ages of Man folio.
So I'm starting this thread to look more in depth at the figures depicted in it, the general structure of the page, etc.
To start things off, here's an image of St Anthony holding similar attributes to the "old age" figure at the bottom of the wheel:
From Officium parvum Beatae Mariae Virginis ad usum Ecclesiae Romanae, France (Picardie?) 1450-1457 Polish National Library Rps 8004 II, f119v.
