Description
Lyon, France: np, 1500. 1st Edition. No Binding. Fine. SPECTACULAR RICHLY ILLUMINATED AND FINELY DETAILED MINIATURE BY THE RENOWNED ENTRY MASTER FROM LYON, FRANCE. In Luke 2.8-2.9, an angel appears before a group of shepherds, a moment where “the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified." In this magnificently painted miniature, the artist captures the glory and the terror of the moment. Two of the three shepherds hold up their hands shielding them from the blinding light emanating from the angel, whereas one has even collapsed to the ground from terror. The powerful scene is complemented by a richly illuminated border with a bird, acanthus leaves and a floral motif. Verso(miniature side) contains a large initial D (4 lines) painted in blue with a flower on a red background. Recto contains 14 lines of text with an elaborate border on the right side of the leaf. The text beneath the miniature is from the Hours of the Virgin and reads: Deus in adiutorium meum intende Domine ad adiuvandum me festina Translation Incline unto my aid O God O Lord make haste to help me Recto contains 14 lines of text as follows: tua cunctam repelle nequitiam: iter, actus, et voluntates nostras, et omnium famulorum tuorum in salutis suae prosperitate dispone: benefactoribus nostris sempiterna bona retribue: et omnibus fidelibus defunctis requiem aeternam concede. Per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum filium tuum: Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate spiritus sancti Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum Translation: from thy Church repel all wickedness: and dispose our way, acts, and wills, and of all thy servants in the prosperity of thy salvation: and yield unto our benefactors perpetual good things: and grant eternal rest to all faithful departed. Through our Lord Jesus Christ thy son: Who liveth and reigneth, God, with thee, in the unity of the holy Ghost, world without end. The Entry Master (or Maître de l'Entrée de François Ier à Lyon) was an artist active in Lyon between approximately 1493 and 1517. He is named after a copy of the account of the royal entry of François I into Lyon in 1515 (Wolfenbüttel, Herzog August Bibliothek, Cod. Extr. 86.4; Burin, 2001, cat. 94). The scholar E. Burin has hypothetically identified him as Jean Pingault, a writer and illuminator responsible for the painted decorations commemorating the royal entry. The Entry Master is credited with numerous manuscripts, including a Lectionary and Benedictionary produced for the collegiate church of Saint-Nizier in Lyon (BM, MS 5136; Burin, 2001, cat. 74), as well as a charter relating to the priory of Saint-Albin, notable for its large illuminated page framed in a compartmentalised design (Paris, ENSBA, Masson 135). He also illustrated several books of hours, such as Lyon, BM, MS 577 (featuring an Annunciation to the Shepherds, fol. 56); Paris, BnF, latin 1404; and BnF, latin 9475. Manuscripts attributed to the Entry Master often share distinctive features, including compartmentalized borders, a characteristic rendering of grass and vegetation, and a recurring motif of a radiant cloud in the sky. These elements can be observed, for instance, in the Missal held at the Museum of the Order of Saint John in London (Burin, 2001, cat. 70). For further study, see Burin, E., Manuscript Illumination in Lyons, 1473–1530, Turnhout, 2001, especially the chapter “Entry Master,” pp. 31–33; and Hermant, M., “Production et commande de manuscrits enluminés à Lyon à la fin du Moyen Âge et à la Renaissance,” in L. Virassamynaïken (ed.), Lyon Renaissance: arts et humanisme, Paris and Lyon, 2015, pp. 274–279. Size of leaf: 213 x 140 mm (approx. 8.4 x 5.5 inches) Size of Miniature: 121 x 66 mm (approx. 4.8 x 2.6 inches) Lyon, France. 1500. In outstanding condition with a mounting square on the lower border (recto) that does not interfere with the text. Stunning miniature from a well known master illuminator.

Essay by Andrew Renton, titled ‘Faith in Motion: Tanya Ling and her Line’ that explores the relationship between Ling’s work, the eternal and infinite. Documents the work of Tanya Ling from the late 1980s when she graduated from St. Martin’s School of Art (CSM), London until her solo show, ‘Let it come to me’ at Harper’s, East Hampton, New York in 2021. Images of artwork and ephemera from every period and place are juxtaposed throughout, inviting the reader to make connections and join the dots between works created on a journey that has traversed the fashion and art worlds. Tear sheets, invitation cards and announcements, fashion drawings, photos from shows and of installations, articles, features, commissioned works, sculptures, assemblage, paintings, prints and screen grabs from her Instagram feed are punctuated by three sections dedicated to her celebrated series of Line Paintings and a fourth section that feature Constellation Paintings shown with Harper’s last year.
