"Louis of Orleans 1462-1515 praying before the Christ Child" is an exquisite miniature painting created by the renowned French illuminator Jean Colombe. This artwork is a prime example of late medieval manuscript illumination, showcasing the intricate detail and vibrant colors characteristic of Colombe's style. Jean Colombe, active during the late 15th and early 16th centuries, is celebrated for his contributions to the art of book illumination, particularly his work on the famous "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry."

The miniature depicts Louis of Orleans, later known as Louis XII of France, in a posture of devout prayer before the Christ Child. The scene is rich with religious symbolism and reflects the piety and devotion of the French nobility during this period. Louis is portrayed in a kneeling position, his hands clasped in prayer, with an expression of reverence and humility. The Christ Child, depicted with a serene and benevolent expression, is seated on a throne, symbolizing his divine kingship.

The background of the miniature is adorned with intricate Gothic architectural elements and lush, detailed landscapes, which are hallmarks of Colombe's artistic approach. The use of gold leaf and vibrant pigments adds a luminous quality to the scene, enhancing its spiritual and aesthetic impact. The attention to detail in the rendering of fabrics, facial expressions, and surrounding elements demonstrates Colombe's mastery of the miniature painting technique.

This work not only serves as a devotional image but also as a historical document, providing insight into the religious practices and artistic tastes of the French court during the late Middle Ages. The miniature is a testament to the skill and creativity of Jean Colombe and remains a significant piece within the broader context of medieval art and illumination.
