The Visitation: Leaf from a Book of Hours (5 of 6 Excised Leaves), c. 1420. These leaves survive from what must have been an extraordinarily rich book of hours. Stylistically, the illuminations relate to the workshop of Henri dOrquevaulx, a documented Metz manuscript painter. Little is known about dOrquevaulx's life or career. Compositionally, structurally, and stylistically, the miniatures suggest strong links to Netherlandish illumination.
