Description
Book of Hours of Louis of Orléans

The Book of Hours of Louis de Orléans originates from the French city of Bourges in 1490. It was designed by the illuminator Jean Colombe and a few of the artist-colleagues from his studio, who were largely guided by the work of another great French master, Jean Bourdichon. The small manuscript captivates through its exceptional illumination: alongside 90 elegant miniatures, the pages of the work are adorned with elaborately decorated bordures with floral decoration, images of birds, exotic animals, and fantastical monsters. Parts of the manuscript feature aphorisms, which capture the themes of the prayers and miniatures. Today the splendid small codex is regarded as one of the most outstanding manuscripts to be produced during the French Renaissance. King Louis XII of France, a great lover and patron of the arts, signed the codex when he was still the Duke of Orléans.

Book of Hours of Louis de Orléans

Books of hours were probably the most popular book genre of the Middle Ages. The codices were made for prayer and private devotion and were especially widespread among the nobility. The Book of Hours of Louis de Orléans is a spectacular example of these popular manuscripts. The illuminated manuscript is adorned with 90 elegant miniatures in elaborately patterned frames. Today the valuable original edition of the book of hours is found in the Russian National Library in St. Petersburg.

A Manuscript of the King of France

The lavish prayer book was decorated by a French master, Jean Colombe, and the staff of his studio. The artists were guided by the work of the painter Jean Bourdichons, one of the most influential French illuminators of the Middle Ages. The work originates from the year 1490. It was signed by Louis, Duke of Orléans, of the house of Valois. In 1498, Louis was crowned King Louis XII of France (1462–1515). Louis XII was a great lover and patron of the arts. One of France’s most outstanding illuminated manuscripts originates from his commission.

Extraordinary Illumination

In a small format of 21 by 14.7 cm, the manuscript is especially appealing due to its exceptional book decoration. The sophisticated pictorial conception of the work is truly unusual for a book of hours. The pages of the work are adorned with splendid floral decoration and the 90 miniatures show series of various biblical motifs. The decorative bordures display, along with floral decoration, images of birds, exotic animals, and fantastical monsters. Parts are traversed with aphorisms, which capture the themes of the prayers and miniatures.

Book of Hours of Louis of Orléans

Parlor Scene

Since they were usually patronized by laypersons, books of hours often contained scenes from daily life like this. The visitor entering though the door on the right with hat in one hand and a bell in the other is likely a messenger. He is greeted by two dogs and a young man in fine garments, which are highlighted with strokes of gold ink. As a woman tends the fireplace behind him, a man in a gold cloak with a wide blue collar and cap appears to rise in order to greet the visitor.

Book of Hours of Louis of Orléans

The Creation of Eve

In Genesis, Eve is created from the rib of Adam in the Garden of Eden, depicted here as a walled medieval garden with fruit trees, streams, and fountains. Jean Colombe depicts Eve’s creation by showing Adam asleep on the ground as she is drawn from his side. The miniature boasts an unusual color palette dominated by shades of pink and green with a frame of gold and purple.

A group of angels looks on in the background while the manuscript’s patron, Louis, kneels in the foreground, watching with hands folded in prayer. He is wearing a brown, fur-trimmed coat and a codex lies open in front of him, likely meant to be the book of hours at hand. Eden’s defenses, from windows to parapets, are depicted with a similar level of detail.
