Description

The Master of Claude de France was an illuminator active in the French city of Tours during the first two decades of the sixteenth century. He is named after two jewel-like manuscripts he painted for Queen Claude de France (1499-1524), first wife of King François I: a tiny Book of Hours (today owned by Heribert Tenschert) and an even tinier Prayer Book (today owned by the Morgan Library & Museum). Although we find traces of him possibly as early as 1498, he does not emerge as an independent artist until around 1508. He flourished in the second decade of the century -- when he illuminated the majority of his work, including the two codices for the queen -- and disappeared shortly after 1520. All told, his actual career lasted only a short dozen years. In that brief span, however, he created some of the most mesmerizing illuminations in France during the “last flowering” of the handwritten and hand-painted book. Published on the occasion of the Morgan Library & Museum’s exhibition ‘Miracles in Miniature: The Art of the Master of Claude de France’, this is the first major study on the artist’s oeuvre since Charles Sterling’s 1975 book that gave the illuminator his name. The study offers a survey of the painter’s roots and training, his career, and his denouement. Francisco Trujillo’s study of the palettes of the Claude Master and of the two artists who trained or influenced him, Jean Bourdichon and Jean Poyer, offers fascinating scientific parallels to Roger Wieck’s stylistic analysis. Including, in a final chapter, all the known works by the Claude Master and his followers, ‘Miracles in Miniature’ will be the starting point for all future studies of the artist. 0Exhibition: The Morgan Library and Museum, NYC, USA (30.5.-14.9.2014).
