Hours of Simon de Varie (illuminated manuscript; Jean Fouquet, Chief Associate of the Bedford Master, and Mas...; 1455; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles, Los A...; 85.ML.27; Ms. 7)

Note: 97 folios, 4 full-page miniatures, 9 half-page miniatures, 16 full borders, 68 one-side borders, 5 historiated initials. The complete Varie Hours, of which the Getty Museum's volume is only a part, includes forty-nine large miniatures and several dozen other vignettes and historiated initials by four different artists. While three of these painters are anonymous, Varie commissioned the internationally sought-after painter Jean Fouquet to make six of the manuscript's illuminations; these were appended to the book as an unusual frontispiece. A later owner divided the book into three volumes. The Getty Museum owns one, and the two others belong to the Royal Library in The Hague, The Netherlands.
