Livre D'Heures de Henri II

Manuscripts of the Institut de France – Faksimile Verlag – mss A - M – Institut de France (Paris, France)

Paris (France) — 1542–1547

Old Testament stories set against dreamy landscapes and ancient ruins in a truly royal manuscript: Henry II's magnificent Book of Hours, adorned with virtuoso full-page miniatures in opulent golden frames

  1. This masterly book of hours was used by the French King Henry II (1519–1559) for his private devotions

  2. It was created by several virtuoso book artists in Bellemare's workshop shortly before its coronation

  3. Four of the 17 full-page miniatures were probably added later for Henry II
