註釋

Considered one of the incomparable artistic geniuses of the fifteenth century, Jean Fouquet is best known for The Hours of Etienne Chevalier, the book of illuminated miniatures that represents the high point of his career--and a wonder of Western art. The complete manuscript is estimated to date from the 1450s, and remained in the family of the treasurer of France, Etienne Chevalier, for almost two centuries. Then, in the eighteenth century, the leaves were separated and dispersed. The forty leaves in the Musee Conde were acquired by the duc d'Aumale in 1891, and seven others are divided among the Meropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the British Library in London and the Louvre in Paris. This volume, which accompanies an exhibition in the Santuario at the Musee Conde in Chantilly, reproduced 40 of the miniatures in their actual dimensions, shown in the chronology established by the most recent research.
