Created for the coronation of Louis XII in 1498, this exquisite prayer book showcases the artistry of Jean Bourdichon, who served as court painter to multiple French monarchs. The manuscript is a remarkable example of Renaissance illumination, featuring intricate illustrations that reflect the religious devotion and royal splendor of the time. Bourdichon's work not only highlights the artistic trends of the era but also provides insight into the ceremonial practices of the French court during Louis XII's reign.
