Petites Heures Of Jean De France, Duc De Berry
The Petites Heures of Jean de France, Duc de Berry is an illuminated book of hours commissioned by John, Duke of Berry between 1375 and 1385–90. It is known for its ornate miniature leaves and border decorations. Several artists were employed in the production. It was completed in two separate stages, each with a distinctive style. The earlier leaves were painted by artists influenced by Jean Pucelle, the later by artists working in the vanguard of the International Gothic period of Gothic art. Because of this, the ''Petites Heures'' exemplifies the "rupture in style" that occurred in French illumination in the final two decades of the fourteenth century. A high-resolution facsimile was published in 1988, with monographs by Avril, Dunlop and Yapp. History Jean de Berry commissioned six books of hours between 1375 and 1416. The first, the ''Petites Heures'', contains 182 miniatures. Work started c. 1375 but was interrupted in 1380 and the book was not completed until 1385–9 ...

Jacquemart De Hesdin
Jacquemart de Hesdin ( 1355 – c. 1414) was a French miniature painter working in the International Gothic style. In English, he is also called Jacquemart of Hesdin. During his lifetime, his name was spelt in a number of ways, including as Jacquemart de Odin.Conway, Sir Martin, "Jacquemart de Hesdin" in ''The Burlington Magazine for Connoisseurs'', vol. 29, no. 158 (May 1916pp. 45–47 & 49online at JSTOR (accessed 16 February 2008) Background Jacquemart was a painter from Artois. Hesdin, the town from which he took his name, was a fortified citadel in the Pas-de-Calais, then part of Flanders and a stronghold of the Dukes of Burgundy. It is possible that Jacquemart was born there. He was one of the many Netherlandish artists who worked for members of the French royal family from about the middle of the fourteenth century. Jacquemart's only known patron, John, Duke of Berry (1340–1416), was a younger brother of King Charles V of France.Granboulan, Anne, ''Jacquemart of Hesd ...

Charles V Of France
Charles V (21 January 1338 – 16 September 1380), called the Wise (french: le Sage; la, Sapiens), was King of France from 1364 to his death in 1380. His reign marked an early high point for France during the Hundred Years' War, with his armies recovering much of the territory held by the English, and successfully reversed the military losses of his predecessors. Charles became regent of France when his father John II was captured by the English at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356. To pay for the defense of the kingdom, Charles raised taxes. As a result, he faced hostility from the nobility, led by Charles the Bad, King of Navarre; the opposition of the French bourgeoisie, which was channeled through the Estates-General led by Étienne Marcel; and with a peasant revolt known as the Jacquerie. Charles overcame all of these rebellions, but in order to liberate his father, he had to conclude the Treaty of Brétigny in 1360, in which he abandoned large portions of south-western Fr ...

7 Jean Le Noir
7 (seven) is the natural number following 6 and preceding 8. It is the only prime number preceding a cube. As an early prime number in the series of positive integers, the number seven has greatly symbolic associations in religion, mythology, superstition and philosophy. The seven Classical planets resulted in seven being the number of days in a week. It is often considered lucky in Western culture and is often seen as highly symbolic. Unlike Western culture, in Vietnamese culture, the number seven is sometimes considered unlucky. It is the first natural number whose pronunciation contains more than one syllable. Evolution of the Arabic digit In the beginning, Indians wrote 7 more or less in one stroke as a curve that looks like an uppercase vertically inverted. The western Ghubar Arabs' main contribution was to make the longer line diagonal rather than straight, though they showed some tendencies to making the digit more rectilinear. The eastern Arabs developed the digit f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Domenico Cavalca
Domenico Cavalca (Vicopisano, c. 1270 – Pisa, October 1342) was an Italian writer. He was a friar of the Dominican order and lived a life, mostly spent in the monastery of Santa Caterina, of irreproachable morals, characterized by attention to the poor and the sick. Cavalca dedicated much time and care to nunneries in the province of Pisa and his activity led to the foundation in 1342, just before his death, of the Dominican nunnery of Santa Marta (today no longer existing) in Pisa. The works of Cavalca, of religious or ascetic subject, are in part original, in part derived from Latin texts. His treatises are strongly influenced by ''Summae virtutum ac vitiorum'', a treatise written in the thirteenth century by the French Dominican William Perault. Cavalca became a very famous writer and in the following centuries many works were attributed to him, but in many cases these were erroneous attributions. Works *''Vite dei santi Padri''.

Psalter Of Bonne De Luxembourg
The ''Psalter of Bonne de Luxembourg'' is a small 14th-century illuminated manuscript in tempera, grisaille, ink and gold leaf on vellum. It is held in the collection of The Cloisters, New York, where it is usually on display. The book was probably commissioned for Bonne of Bohemia, Bonne de Luxembourg, Duchess of Normandy, daughter of John of Bohemia, John the Blind and the wife of John II of France, probably at the end of her husband's life, c 1348–49. At the time illuminated manuscripts could compete with monastic scriptoria and panel painting as commercially attractive donor portraits. Bonne died of plague in 1349. It consists of 333 pages of parchment each measuring 126 x 88 mm. The illustrations are attributed to the miniaturist Jean Le Noir (illuminator), Jean Le Noir, and include graphic representations of astrological predictions by the Roman writer Marcus Manilius.

The Three Dead Kings
''The Three Dead Kings'' ( la, De tribus regibus mortuis), is a 15th-century Middle English poem. It is found in the manuscript MS. Douce 302 in the Bodleian Library in Oxford, and its authorship is sometimes attributed to a Shropshire priest, John Audelay. It is an extremely rare survival from a late genre of alliterative verse, also significant as the only English poetic retelling of a well-known ''memento mori'' current in mediaeval European church art. Synopsis The theme of the "Three Living and the Three Dead" is a relatively common form of ''memento mori'' in mediaeval art.Ross, L. ''Medieval Art: A Topical Dictionary'', Greenwood, 1996, p.245 The earliest manuscript evidence for the story comes from late 13th-century France. A ''Dit des trois morts et des trois vifs'' by Baudoin de Condé has been traced back to 1280. In the poem, an unnamed narrator describes seeing a boar hunt, a typical opening of the genre of the '' chanson d'aventure''. Three kings are following th ...

Départ Pour Un Pèlerinage - Petites Heures Du Duc De Berry - BNF Lat18014 F288v
''Départ'' is an album by British jazz trio Azimuth, whose members were vocalist Norma Winstone, pianist John Taylor, and trumpeter Kenny Wheeler. It was recorded in December 1979 at Talent Studios in Oslo, and was released in 1980 by ECM. On the album, the group is joined by guitarist Ralph Towner. Reception The authors of the ''Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings'' called Towner "an ideal guest," and wrote: "Much as he does on Weather Report's ''I Sing the Body Electric'', Towner sounds as if he comes from outside the basic conception of the group, but with a genuine understanding and appreciation of what it's all about. His contribution is perhaps most emphatic on 'Arrivée'... linking the whole disc into a continuous suite." Writing for Between Sound and Space, Tyran Grillo described the album as "Azimuth's most fully realized effort, through which the project honed its sound to an art," and noted: "Winstone's overdubs visualize gossamer veils of more distant storms, while W ...

Bonne Of Luxembourg
Bonne of Luxemburg or Jutta of Luxemburg (20 May 131511 September 1349), was born Jutta (Judith), the second daughter of King John of Bohemia, and his first wife, Elisabeth of Bohemia. She was the first wife of King John II of France; however, as she died a year prior to his accession, she was never a French queen. Jutta was referred to in French historiography as Bonne de Luxembourg, since she was a member of the House of Luxembourg. Among her children were Charles V of France, Philip II, Duke of Burgundy, and Joan, Queen of Navarre. Biography In June or July 1315, Jutta was betrothed to the future King Casimir the Great of Poland, son of Władysław Łokietek.Kazimierz JasińskiPolityka małżeńska Władysława Łokietka In: Genealogia - rola związków rodzinnych i rodowych w życiu publicznym w Polsce średniowiecznej na tle porównawczym, p. 14., but he married Aldona of Lithuania in 1325 instead.
