      • The Hours of Charles of Angoulême

        by Maxence Hermant and Séverine Lepape (Bibliothèque nationale de France)

        The Hours of Charles of Angoulême (Bibliothèque nationale de France, Latin 1173) commissioned for Charles, Count of Angoulême (the father of Francis I of France) is undeniably Robinet Testard’s most personal work. Testard, one of France’s most creative painters, drew upon his boundless imagination to create a totally novel work. The calendar scenes on the opening pages are surprisingly original. Testard also portrays exotic landscapes, botanical elements, an acrostic featuring animated figures more typical of alphabet books, and even combines mythology and religion in rather peculiar ways. Testard’s compositions in the Passion cycle are inspired by engraving techniques, and the intense, vivid colours in his paintings bring the scenes alive. And if this manuscript defying prevailing trends was still not original enough, it even features a miniature by Bourdichon (none other than the master of the Great Hours of Anne of Brittany!)     CONTENTS:   From the editor to the reader Manuel Moleiro Foreword Séverine Lepape Curator, Musée du Louvre Charles of Angoulême and his library Maxence Hermant Curator, Bibliothèque nationale de France   Manuscript description and contents Maxence Hermant / Séverine Lepape The two illuminators: Robinet Testard and Jean Bourdichon Maxence Hermant   Robinet Testard and his use of engravings Séverine Lepape Israhel van Meckenem’s Great Passion in the Hours of Charles of Angoulême Séverine Lepape Iconographic description Maxence Hermant / Séverine Lepape Bibliography Index of works cited     MORE INFO: https://www.moleiro.com/es/libros-de-horas/libro-de-horas-de-carlos-de-angulema.html#estudiosarticle
