The Book of Hours of Marshal Boucicaut is a notable example of French Gothic manuscript illumination from the early 15th century, attributed to the Boucicaut Master, an anonymous Parisian illuminator named after his work for Jean II le Meingre, the Marshal of Boucicaut. This devotional book, intended for the layperson's private worship, is a prime specimen of the International Gothic style, characterized by elegant and intricate designs, a rich palette, and a strong emphasis on narrative and emotional expression.

The manuscript is renowned for its high artistic quality and the sophistication of its miniatures, which include a series of full-page illuminations as well as numerous smaller marginal decorations. The illuminations depict scenes from the life of Christ, the Virgin Mary, and the Saints, along with other devotional images that were intended to inspire piety and meditation in the reader. The Book of Hours of Marshal Boucicaut is particularly celebrated for its innovative iconography and the use of spatial illusion and perspective, which were groundbreaking at the time of its creation.

The book's provenance traces back to Jean II le Meingre, a celebrated French knight, and member of the court of Charles VI of France, for whom the manuscript was likely commissioned. The Boucicaut Master and his workshop were responsible for several other important manuscripts of the period, but the Book of Hours of Marshal Boucicaut remains one of the most exquisite examples of their work.

Today, the manuscript is held in the collection of the Musée Jacquemart-André in Paris, France, where it continues to be a subject of study for art historians and a treasured example of medieval European art. Its preservation allows for ongoing appreciation and analysis of the artistic techniques and cultural context of the International Gothic period.
