Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines a series of 40 exquisite miniatures from a 15th-century Book of Hours, created for a man named Ãtienne Chevalier. As an art object, it has been greatly admired, but what has been less explored is the work's historical significance. Bringing together the latest research, this book reassesses the context of the book's creation and reveals the fascinating story of the man who commissioned it. The author delves into the political and religious climate of the time, and the ways in which both shaped the book's imagery. Doing so provides fresh insight into one of the finest surviving examples of medieval book illumination while shedding light on the complex world that produced it.
