Painting reproduction handmade of the artwork
Book of Hours of Simon de Varie (Fouquet)

This sumptuous manuscript page, from the “Book of Hours of Simon de Varie”, is a brilliant example of the supreme refinement and infinite delicacy of Jean Fouquet’s illuminations. The Virgin Mary, imbued with a gentle and silent melancholy, contemplates the Child Jesus with palpable maternal tenderness. She is draped in a heavy and sculptural ultramarine blue coat of magnetic depth, subtly enhanced with scintillating touches of gold that capture the divine light. The striking contrast between the celestial blue of the veil, the diaphanous complexion of the faces and the ardor of the vibrant red background creates a captivating visual alchemy, characteristic of late Gothic painting. The surgical precision of the features and the harmony of the proportions make this miniature a true icon of devotion. This ravishing hand-painted reproduction will bring a touch of classic elegance, serenity and intimate contemplation to your home.
