Painting: A scene in Paolo Uccello Corpus Domini predella
A scene in Paolo Uccello's Corpus Domini predella (c. 1465-1468), set in a Jewish pawnbroker's home. Blood in the background emanates from the Host, which the moneylender has attempted to cook, and seeps under the door. This story first entered the Italian literary tradition via Giovanni Villani (c. 1280?C1348) and his Nuova Cronica.
