PRESENTATION IN THE TEMPLE, miniature on a leaf from a Book of Hours, ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM [Paris, c.1500] 140 x110mm. Full-page renaissance architectural frame with cordelier and cherubs in camaïeu d'or containing four-lines of text on a fictive scroll below the miniature with a central round altar where Simeon receives the Christchild from the Virgin on the left, on the right Joseph carrying a basket with doves, three servants, an altar with tabernacle and curtains in the background, the text opening with a three-line initial with blue staves patterned white against a ground of liquid gold with a foliate spray in the infill. On the verso , twenty-four lines of text on a pink ruling: text justification 130 x 76mm, rubrics in pink, two-line and versal initials of liquid gold on grounds alternately of blue and red (pale stain at left edge of recto, a few tiny pigment losses from rear cloth of honour and hem of Joseph's mantle). Framed. This fine miniature, richly coloured and in excellent condition, once opened the Hour of none in the Office of the Virgin. The style of illumination is very close to that of the Master of Philippe de Gueldre, one of the most polished and successful illuminators of his day. He was named after the 1506 manuscript of Ludolphe de Saxe's Vie du Christ that he painted for Philippe, Duchess of Lorraine in 1506.
