Lamentation This miniature was painted by the French illuminator Jean Poyer, active in Tours, ca. 1483-1503. Some scholars believe that the miniature is from a now lost book of hours mentioned in an entry in the accounts of Anne of Brittany (d. 1514), queen of Charles VIII of France (r. 1483-1498) and patron of Jean Poyer. The document records a payment made to the artist in 1497 for 23 miniatures, 271... The leaf has been dated to the mid 1490s. Script: Bastarda
