La mano destra di Dio scende a proteggere i fedeli dai demoni

ca. 1452–1460
Not on view
Questo folio proviene da uno dei più famosi manoscritti miniati del Quattrocento: il Libro d’Ore di Étienne Chevalier, tesoriere di Francia dal 1452 al 1474. La miniatura a tutta pagina illustra una congregazione di fedeli con lo sguardo rivolto in alto, verso la mano di Dio che scende dai cieli. La descrizione della Parigi medievale fatta da Fouquet denota una straordinaria precisione topografica. Tra i luoghi riconoscibili notiamo la cattedrale di Notre-Dame, la guglia della Sainte-Chapelle, il ponte Saint-Michel e altri monumenti della Île de la Cité, come l’Hôtel de Nesle in primo piano. Sul margine inferiore del folio sono iscritte le parole iniziali della preghiera del vespro per la liturgia delle Ore dello Spirito Santo.
