"The Order of the Golden Fleece from the Hours of Louis d'Orléans" is an illuminated manuscript page created by the French artist Jean Colombe, circa 1465-1470. The artwork is part of a larger collection known as the Hours of Louis d'Orléans, which is a book of hours—a type of devotional book popular in the Middle Ages. The page depicts the prestigious chivalric Order of the Golden Fleece, which was founded in 1430 by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, to celebrate his marriage to Isabella of Portugal.

Jean Colombe, renowned for his detailed and vibrant illuminations, was commissioned by Louis d'Orléans, the brother of King Charles VIII of France, to embellish this prayer book. The manuscript is notable for its luxurious decoration and the use of gold leaf, which was a hallmark of Colombe's work and a symbol of the wealth and status of its patron. The image of the Order of the Golden Fleece is particularly significant as it reflects the political alliances and the cultural importance of chivalric orders during the late medieval period.

The page is a testament to the artistic skill of Colombe and the opulence of late 15th-century French manuscript illumination. It features intricate iconography and symbolism associated with the Order, including the emblem of the Golden Fleece itself. The use of rich colors, detailed figures, and elaborate borders exemplifies the Gothic style of the period and highlights the importance of such manuscripts as both religious texts and works of art.

The Hours of Louis d'Orléans, including "The Order of the Golden Fleece" page, is held in high esteem by art historians and manuscript scholars for its historical and artistic value. It provides insight into the devotional practices, aesthetic preferences, and social hierarchies of the French court during the late Middle Ages. The manuscript is currently preserved in a prominent public collection, allowing for continued study and appreciation of this significant piece of cultural heritage.
