15th CenturyHeures d'Etienne Chevalier
This magnificient Book of Hours is in the Louvre. Having looked at a silly humour webnote on the Fifteenth Century I decided to review some real materials related to the world 500 years ago and ran across this wonderful illustration.
Etienne de Chevalier, treasurer to King Charles VII, commissioned Jean Fouquet, one of the greatest artists of the fifteenth century, to create this Book of Hours.
The original miniatures exist as fragments of the Livre d’heures d'Etienne Chevalier (1450-60), forty of the leaves are at the Musée Condé, Chantilly. Two at the Louvre, one at the Bibliothèque Nationale, and one at the British Museum.
Documentary sources of the 15th and 16th centuries show that Fouquet, an early renaissance French painter and illuminator, held international repute. He is also famous for his illuminations for the French translations of Boccaccio and of Josephus’ Antiquities of the Jews manuscripts located at the Bibliothèque Nationale.
