Known from several publications and with an illustrious provenance, originally probably commissioned by the nobleman François du Pou, secretary of the Duke of Brittany, this is an important and beautiful manuscript with highly inventive miniatures associated directly with the schools of Jean Fouquet and Jean Bourdichon. It has been attributed variously to these two artists or to a skilled illuminator the artist of the Bourbon-Vendôme Hours, who was intimately familiar not only with the models but also with the styles of one or both painters. |
