- Info created by an anonymous illustrator - uploaded, stitched, restored and nominated by me-- Jebulon (talk) 11:22, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- Support Description: Horae ad usum romanum, Book of Hours of Marguerite d'Orléans (1406-1466, wife of Richard of Brittany), folio 135r., miniature of Pilate washing his hands of the fate of Jesus. Around, peasants collecting letters of alphabet. CoA of Brittany and Orleans in the initial letter "D". Circa 1430.
I worked hard and nominated this picture because of the subject (Pilate washing his hands, and Jesus, rare enough), and for the funny and surrealistic idea of the illustrator. If somebody here can explain the meaning of the "peasants collecting letters", it should be interesting. I find the vegetal decoration nice too, (especially the strawberries), and the nice blue color, in accordance to the gold. A very nice image, with a great resolution, from the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. Many details were revealed by restoration. Original available in the file description page.-- Jebulon (talk) 11:22, 15 February 2014 (UTC) - Support. Wonderful, what a great work! — TintoMeches, 15:18, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- Question. I've just noticed a white stripe on the top-left egde of the image and other three imperfections on the right edge (see annotations). Can you please fix them? — TintoMeches, 15:30, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
