The installation of manuscript books, leaves, and cuttings from the
Museum's permanent collection focuses on the flowering of the art of
illumination in France from about 1375 to 1525. During the period kings,
dukes, and church leaders were building libraries of lavishly illuminated
manuscripts that brought French illuminators to the center of court life. The
Boucicaut Master, Jean Fouquet, Jean Bourdichon, and Simon Marmion, all of
whom illuminated manuscripts for powerful patrons, are among the artists
represented. August 3 through September 26, 1999.
