Add to basketEntstanden: Um 1450 Stadtbibliothek von Lyon Umfang: 52 Seiten Format: 29,5 x 23,8 cm Miniaturen: 48 ganzseitige Miniaturen mit Goldverzierungen. Einband: Geprägtes Rindsleder in Schuber Exemplare: 995 nummerierte Exemplare. Inkl. Kommentarband. Die Apokalypse von Lyon kann auf die Zeit zwischen 1445 und 1450 datiert werden und wurde im literarischen und künstlerischen Umfeld Nordfrankreichs, in der Region Picardie und Artois, höchstwahrscheinlich in Arras oder Cambrai geschrieben. Die Handschrift wurde im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert in der Gegend von Arras aufbewahrt, was durch zwei Exlibris von zwei bekannten Bibliophilen Nordfrankreichs, Alexandre le Blancq und später Maximilien Charles de Coupigny, bezeugt wird. Der Text besteht aus 230 lateinischen Versen, von denen die ersten acht als Einleitung dem Leser erklären, wie er sich dem Text und den Bildern gemeinsam nähern soll. Acht Verse bilden den Schluss. Der Rest verteilt sich auf die Miniaturen und vier Strophen pro Seite. Die beiden Verse oberhalb der Bilder fassen die Apokalypse zusammen, während die beiden Verse darunter die einzelnen Bilder kommentieren. Die Art und Weise, in der Text und Bild in der Apokalypse von Lyon strukturiert sind, macht diese Handschrift zu einem einzigartigen Werk. Achtundvierzig Miniaturen illustrieren den Text der Apokalypse in einer für die damalige Zeit einzigartigen Technik, die einer kolorierten Zeichnung ähnelt, mit einer breiten Palette an leuchtenden Farben, darunter ein sehr schönes und "kräftiges" Zinnoberrot. Der Illuminator der Lyoner Apokalypse war weit mehr als ein einfacher Illustrator. Zweifellos muss er die Entstehung des Textes der Apokalypse erforscht haben, oder vielleicht wurde er von einem Theologen beraten. All dies macht unseren Illuminator zu einem vollendeten Künstler.
