Livre des faits de Jacques de Lalaing
A manuscript chronicle in French, illuminated in about 1530 and held by the J. Paul Getty Museum, recording the tournament deeds and travels of the knight Jacques de Lalaing. The painted miniatures show jousts and lists with pavilions and crowded stands, interiors with courtly figures, and sieges before walled towns, set beside dense columns of black-letter text with ornamental initials. A designer could take the armour, heraldic pennants and striped tents, along with the tight framing of miniature and text on one page.
