| Description |
Italiano: Questo Libro d'Ore riccamente miniato fu probabilmente prodotto per Galeotto I Pico della Mirandola, principe di Mirandola e conte di Concordia (morto nel 1499) e sua moglie, Bianca d'Este (come evidenziato dai loro stemmi, dipinti nella decorazione del bordo della pag. 13), probabilmente nell'Italia settentrionale nel decennio precedente la morte di Galeotto nel 1499.
Le miniature sono state attribuite a Giovanni Francesco Maineri (fl. 1489-1506), che lavorò come pittore a Ferrara per la famiglia Este prima di trasferirsi a Mantova nel 1489. I soggetti delle miniature a pagina intera sono L'Annunciazione della Vergine nel registro superiore; il registro inferiore raffigura la Tentazione di Adamo ed Eva. L'incipit delle Ore della Vergine è scritto in maiuscolo su due cartigli attaccati a grandi candelabri. Nel margine inferiore ci sono gli stemmi di Galeotto I Pico (a sinistra) e quelle di sua moglie, Bianca d'Este (a destra).English: This lavishly illuminated Book of Hours was probably produced for Galeotto Pico della Mirandola, Prince of Mirandola and Count of Concordia (d. 1499) and his wife, Bianca d'Este (as evidenced by their arms, painted into the border decoration on f. 13r), probably in Northern Italy in the decade before Galeotto's death in 1499.
The illuminations have been attributed to Giovanni Francesco Maineri (fl. 1489–1506), who worked as a painter in Ferrara for the Este family before moving to Mantua in 1489. The subjects of the full-page miniatures are The Annunciation of the Virgin in the top register; the lower register depicts the Temptation of Adam and Eve. The incipit of the Hours of the Virgin is written in capitals on two scrolls attached to large candelabra. In the lower margin are the arms of Galeotto I (at the left) and the arms of his wife, Bianca d'Este (at the right). |
