High-quality book illumination on a very small scale entices the viewer into the wonderful world of French Renaissance imagery at the beginning of the 16th century.<br \/>\n&#8220;The style of the Master of Claude de France can be characterized as the pinnacle of subtlety. He applies a delicate palette of soft purple, mauve and pink hues in tiny, seemingly invisible brushstrokes. The artist is especially skilful in using pale hues to create atmospheric depth in the landscapes and cityscapes of the background.&#8221; (Roger S.

The Master of Claude de France employed an ingenious page design to compose a continuous series of full-page and sometimes even double-page miniatures with a small text panel superimposed on the pictures. And even within these text panels he sometimes integrated small pictures with half-length figures.

In this tiny manuscript, her coat of arms appears on three different folios, twice surmounted by the royal crown.

His technique of using very fine brushstrokes amplifies the closed format given by the small size of the miniatures. The gossamer-like brushstrokes create the subject matter in the eye of the attentive viewer at the very instant he looks at the picture. The effect captured by this technique would even fascinate people several centuries later since it anticipated the phenomenon seen in impressionist paintings. Using this technique in book illumination, the Master of Claude de France attained the height of perfection.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;18px&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text &#8211; Beschreibung des Lupenbildes PIC EN&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.96&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221;]On fol.2v the Evangelist Luke is depicted as a painter. In the lower margin Luke is painting the Virgin Mary who &#8211; according to medieval thought &#8211; is actually posing for his picture. In the background of the scene we see a writing table with an ink well and also the ox as the symbol of the Evangelist Luke. On a shelf are some books and a few globular glass bulbs referring to Luke as the patron saint of doctors. In the upper left of the picture, St. Luke is depicted preaching to a large crowd. The small rectangular miniature within the text field represents him as the traditional author of his Gospel, seated in a scriptorium. The open book-case at the back refers to his great learning.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#eaeaea&#8221; show_divider=&#8221;on&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;1px&#8221; height=&#8221;5&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=&#8221;||25px|&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax_method_1=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text &#8211; Sprungmarke und \u00dcberschrift %22Edition%22 PIC EN&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.96&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p id=\"pic_edition\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Gebetbuch der Claude de France<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Prayer Book of Claude de France: The Edition<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=&#8221;||35px|&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax_method_1=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_2=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/quaternio.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/PIC_Edition.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Gebetbuch der Claude de France, Faksimile-Edition, Band stehend und aufgeschlagen&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Gebetbuch der Claude de France, Faksimile-Edition&#8221; show_bottom_space=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Bild &#8211; Edition PIC&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_width=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;on&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text &#8211; Edition PIC EN&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.96&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Manuscript and the Facsimile at a Glance<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<p>It is indeed not only the small size of the <em>Prayer Book of Claude de France<\/em> but also the artistic quality of the miniatures, anticipating the style of impressionist paintings, which attracts the attention of the viewer.
