Leaf from a Book of Hours
A leaf from a book of hours, painted around 1410 by the Rohan Master, a Parisian manuscript illuminator, for private devotional use. The page shows a Gothic architectural framework enclosing several small scenes, with a blue-robed figure, kneeling and standing courtiers, and a gold-initialed Latin text band; a designer could borrow its tiered arch framing, deep blue and gold palette, and the crowded layering of narrative vignettes.
