This publication is the first comprehensive survey to establish the importance of Renaissance manuscript illumination in the history of sixteenth-century French art. Although illustrated printed books were circulating freely by the beginning of the sixteenth century, patronage of manuscripts became all the more special to the ruling elite, and commissions from the court, aristocratic circles and the higher clergy resulted in a surge of artistic creativity that produced a wide range of outstanding illustrated works from devotional books to translations of classical and humanistic texts. While continuing the tradition of French figurative art, ornamentation became a major element in the style of the period, with frames and borders becoming a significant feature of the aesthetic impact of the illuminated page. One hundred manuscripts have been chosen for this survey to represent the artistic excellence of French book production of the period, as well as to demonstrate the stylistic relationships between artists and between books that may be seen to form distinct groups. Many years of research enabled the author to identify the hands of individual illuminators, both named and anonymous, and to connect these to a particular artistic milieu or regional group. Moreover, not only are the stylistic aspects of the manuscripts analysed, but entirely new information regarding authorship, patronage and historical context are revealed here of hitherto unstudied material. The author, Myra Orth, completed her catalogue and introductory texts shortly before her sad death some years ago. Since that time, a number of scholars – specialists in French manuscripts studies of the period – have helped to update the literature that has more recently appeared relating to the manuscripts catalogued and to the individual artists and workshops discussed. Present locations of manuscripts that may have changed ownership since Dr Orth’s submission of her work have also been noted. To accompany the detailed catalogue, the publication includes a corpus of 360 illustrations that offers a significant visual conspectus of manuscript illumination of the period. In addition to the introductory text, the author also provides brief biographies of Artists and Scribes, Authors and Translators, and Patrons and Dedicatees. --Harvey Miller Publishers

Le livre fait suite à un premier volume qui cherchait à reconstruire la géographie stylistique de la peinture produite dans le royaume de France durant la première moitié du XVIe siècle, hors de la cour. En envisageant toutes les techniques impliquées par le métier du peintre, il se concentre cette fois sur le rayonnement du nouveau foyer que constitue, dès les années 1530, le chantier de Fontainebleau. Il s'organise en trois chapitres. Le premier analyse la relation entre Fontainebleau et Paris, où sont établis nombre d'artistes embauchés par la cour et actifs sur le chantier royal. Le deuxième étudie la diffusion des modèles bellifontains, élaborés par des peintres italiens (Rosso Fiorentino, Primatice, Nicolb dell'Abate), relayés par des peintres parisiens (Jean Cousin le Père, Baptiste Pellerin) et véhiculés par l'estampe. Le troisième chapitre examine le phénomène de transposition de ces modèles dans différentes techniques, comme la tapisserie et le vitrail. Un épilogue est consacré à un genre particulièrement apprécié par la cour et qui oscille entre le portrait, l'histoire et ce que l'on nommera plus tard la scène de genre.

"Considered the most important French Renaissance church, Saint-Eustache in Paris has long remained an enigma. What new circumstances allowed its parishioners, long desirous of a new church, suddenly to begin building it 1532? Did Francis I play a role? Was the obscure Jean Delamarre possibly its architect? Could the ideas of the Italian theorist, Serlio, have affected his design? These and other key issues are resolved by the author in a sustained reading of all known evidence. The baffling formal complexity of the church is clarified through lucid analysis that employs hundreds of new photographs executed by the author. The building is studied within the context of sixteenth-century French architecture and its roots in antiquity, the Italian Renaissance, Romanesque and Gothic France, and the Flamboyant Style. Sankovitch's work will serve as a standard for all those who desire to understand this mysterious building and its times. A bright, clear window revealing an unseen architecture, previously an invisible - or at best murky - episode in the history of art, it is a portal to all future research on the building, and a key to the architectural life of the period."--
