Pious prayers for the later Admiral of France and Ambassador to Castile: a jewel of Breton illumination with a unique picture program of bright colors and gold leaf

  1. Jean de Montauban (1412–1466) was a close confidant of the French kings Charles VII and Louis XI

  3. The colorful picture program includes some iconography untypical for the genre, such as the detailed Vita of Adam and Eve
