"'''Navigators using an astrolabe in the Indian Ocean''' is a notable illumination by the Boucicaut Master, an anonymous French artist active in the early 15th century, renowned for his contributions to the International Gothic style. This particular artwork is a detailed miniature painting that appears in a manuscript from the period, depicting navigators employing an astrolabe, a historical astronomical instrument used by sailors to determine latitude by measuring the angle of celestial bodies above the horizon.

The Boucicaut Master, named after his seminal work on the ''Hours of Jean de Boucicaut'', was a leading figure in the transformation of book illumination during his time. His work is characterized by elegant figures, refined use of color, and intricate attention to detail, which are evident in the ''Navigators using an astrolabe in the Indian Ocean'' illumination.

This piece is significant for its representation of medieval navigation techniques and the use of the astrolabe, which was crucial for maritime exploration before the widespread adoption of the sextant. The artwork not only showcases the navigational practices of the era but also reflects the broader cultural and scientific interests of the European elite during the Age of Discovery.

The miniature is valued for its historical and artistic merit, providing insight into the technological advancements of the period and the aesthetic tendencies of late medieval manuscript illumination. It remains an important work for scholars studying medieval maritime history, the history of science, and the art of illumination."
