La mano derecha de Dios protegiendo a los creyentes contra los demonios

Jean Fouquet French

Not on view

Este folio proviene de uno de los más famosos manuscritos iluminados del siglo XV: el Libro de Horas de Étienne Chevalier, tesorero de Francia de 1452 a 1474. En la miniatura a plena página, los fieles congregados elevan la mirada hacia la mano de Dios que desciende del cielo. Fouquet representa el París medieval con asombrosa exactitud topográfica. Se pueden reconocer la catedral de Notre-Dame, la aguja de la Sainte-Chapelle, el puente de Saint-Michel, y otros monumentos de la isla de la Cité, con el Hôtel de Nesle en el primer plano. Al pie de la página figura una inscripción con las primeras palabras de la plegaria vespertina de las Horas del Espíritu Santo.
