ST CHRISTOPHER WITH THE CHRIST CHILD, on a leaf from a Book of Hours, in Latin, ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM
[western France, c.1450]
139 x 100mm. Large arch-topped miniature of St Christopher, above the opening of the Suffrage to the saint in a gothic bookhand with a large initial in gold on maroon, surrounded by a full border with a peacock. The recto, ruled for 14 lines, has the end of the suffrage to St Michael. The bold forms are reminiscent of the Master of Poitiers 30, but the fine modelling of the saint's face and clothes, the careful indication of his legs and staff visible through the water and the detailing of the landscape show it to be the work of an artist of greater refinement. This is equally evident in the precisely executed and decorative border.
