The Hours of Philip the Bold

Assistants

Artists

The Master of the Grandes Heures and the Master of the Coronation Book of Charles V shared the work on the 128 small miniatures with assistants. One of them contributed images to quire 17, including an Adoration of the Magi on a leaf (fol. 128v) whose conjoint leaf contains an Annunciation by the Master of the Grandes Heures (fol. 121r). Quire 35, to which both the Master of the Grandes Heures and the Master of the Coronation Book of Charles V contributed, contains small miniatures by other assistants. This quire illustrates the all-hands-on-deck approach that was probably adopted towards the end of the first campaign.

St Giles sheltering a deer and St Leonard with two prisoners (suffrages to Saints Giles and Leonard)

Both images were painted by an assistant during the original campaign.
