"Active 1493-1517: A Glimpse into the World of Guillaume Le Rouge's Printed Book of Hours" Step back in time and immerse yourself in the exquisite artistry of Guillaume Le Rouge, an active artist from 1493 to 1517. His stunning creations can be found within the pages of a printed Book of Hours (Use of Rome), offering us a window into religious devotion during this period. One such masterpiece is depicted on folio 29v, where we witness "The Visitation" come to life. Le Rouge's skilled hand captures the tender meeting between Mary and her cousin Elizabeth with remarkable detail and emotion. Continuing our journey through these sacred pages, we encounter St. Paul on folio 99v. The artist's brush brings forth the apostle's wisdom and determination, reminding us of his significant role in spreading Christianity. On folio 99r, St. Peter stands tall as another testament to Le Rouge's talent. With meticulous strokes, he portrays the first Pope exuding strength and authority. Le Rouge also pays homage to St. John the Evangelist on folio 98v, capturing his spiritual aura with grace and reverence. Turning to folio 105r reveals an enchanting depiction of St. Nicholas by Le Rouge himself – a tribute to this beloved saint known for his generosity towards children. Folio 96r introduces us to St. Augustine, portrayed by Le Rouge as a symbol of intellectual pursuit combined with unwavering faith - truly inspiring. Stunningly rendered on folio 97v is none other than St. Michael the Archangel – guardian against evil forces – brought vividly to life by Le Rouge's artistic prowess. Folio110v unveils an ethereal image of St. Barbara created by none other than Guillaume le rouge himself; her beauty radiates alongside her martyrdom story that inspires countless believers.
