Circle of the Master of Antoine Rolin (a.1490-1520) St Peter, historiated initial 'N' cut from a choirbook, illuminated manuscript on vellum [Flanders or Hainaut, c.1490s] A historiated initial painted by one of the group around the Master of Antoine Rolin, the illuminator active in Hainaut around the turn of the 16th century, named for two de luxe manuscripts painted for the grand bailiff of that county. 51 x 54mm. St Peter probably introducing an antiphon for one of the saint's feast days in a choirbook. The reverse with part of a four-line stave in red and musical notation. Provenance: Acquired by the present owner from Antiquariaat Garcia, Mechelen, in 1990. The scholarship of Anne-Marie-Legaré has shed more light on the Master of Antoine Rolin, an illuminator active in Hainaut between 1490 and 1520, enlarging the corpus of works attributable to the miniaturist and firmly establishing a stylistic debt to his more famous predecessor from that region, Simon Marmion (see A.M. Legaré, 'The Master of Antoine Rolin: A Hainaut Illuminator Working in the Orbit of Simon Marmion', 1992). Legaré attributes a large number of devotional manuscripts to the Master and his group: the present historiated initial was cut from a choirbook.
