Livre de la Chasse
Livre de la Chasse is a French hunting treatise written by Gaston Phoebus, Count of Foix, illuminated around 1430 and held by the J. Paul Getty Museum, made for a noble patron and readers interested in the sport of the hunt. The pictures are small framed miniatures of green woodland with hunters, hounds and deer set above dense gothic text columns, with gilded initials and floral borders, offering a designer examples of medieval manuscript layout and a limited palette of greens, blues and gold.
