Parabole du mauvais Riche et Lazare, Enluminure pleine page provenant d'un livre d'Heures
Full page illumination from a book of Hours with gold highlights on vellum representing the Parable of the Poor Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16, 19-31), In-12. Inscription at the bottom (Ps 116) PLACEBO DILEXI QUONIAM EXAUDIET DOMINUS VOCEM ORATIONIS MEAE. (I love the Lord, for he hears the voice of my supplications.) Tours, entourage of Jean Bourdichon (1456/1457-1520/1521), circa 1500 Height: 15.5 cm - Width: 10.6 cm In a wooden frame by Bagard (some polychromatic changes, accidents to the lower right corner and to the frame) The Parable of the Poor Man and Lazarus is an iconography not often used in illuminations. The composition of this one seems to have been taken up by the artist Robert Boyvin (1470-1542?) in a manuscript kept at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Manuscrit NAL 894 f.78). It is known that this painter from Rouen began copying models from Tours in 1500, notably those of the Master of Boccaccio from Munich or those of Jean Bourdichon, without collaborating with them.
