Painting Description
"Ms lat 9474 f.3v Anne of Brittany with St. Anne, St. Ursula and St. Helen" is a notable miniature from the "Grandes Heures of Anne of Brittany," an illuminated manuscript commissioned by Anne of Brittany, who was Queen of France as the consort of two successive kings, Charles VIII and Louis XII. Created around 1503-1508, this masterpiece is attributed to the renowned French manuscript illuminator Jean Bourdichon.
The miniature is a richly detailed work that depicts Anne of Brittany in a devotional pose, accompanied by three saints: St. Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary; St. Ursula, the legendary leader of the 11th-century virgin martyrs; and St. Helen, the mother of Emperor Constantine and discoverer of the True Cross. The presence of these saints not only underscores the queen's piety but also reflects her personal devotion and the medieval tradition of seeking the intercession of saints.
Jean Bourdichon, a court painter to four successive French kings, including Anne's husbands, was a prominent artist of his time known for his skill in illuminating manuscripts. His work on the "Grandes Heures of Anne of Brittany" is considered one of his greatest achievements, showcasing his talent for combining intricate detail with rich colors and gold leaf, which was a hallmark of luxury manuscripts during the Renaissance.
The "Grandes Heures of Anne of Brittany" is preserved at the Bibliothèque nationale de France with the shelf mark Ms lat 9474. The manuscript is celebrated for its artistic excellence and historical significance, providing insight into the religious and cultural milieu of the French court at the turn of the 16th century. The miniature of Anne of Brittany with the three saints is a particularly fine example of Bourdichon's artistry and the devotional practices of the time.
