55 83(ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT). Illuminated Miniature of the Resurrected Christ. Paris, circa 1460. One vellum leaf, measuring 3-1/2 by 5 inches; silk matted and framed, entire piece measures 12 by 10-1/2 inches. $22,000 Beautiful Illuminated Miniature From A 15th-Century French Book Of Hours Depicting The Resurrected Christ Stunning 15th-century illuminated leaf from a French Book of Hours with a depiction of the resurrected Christ—a rare image for a Book of Hours—very handsomely framed. There are elements here that suggest this miniature is the work of the Master of Jean Rolin or of the Dunois Master, but either pedigree is distinguished. Taking his name from the Book of Hours he produced for Jean d’Orleans, comte de Dunois, the celebrated Dunois Master was previously thought to be an extremely close follower and apprentice of the Bedford Master, whose real name may well have been Jean Haincelin; now he is generally thought to be Jean Haincelin the younger, the Bedford Master’s son. One small mark (possibly a wax stain) to the right hand margin of the border, leaf otherwise in beautiful condition, colors still wonderfully vivid. Beautifully framed.
