Join Nicholas Herman, Lawrence J. Schoenberg Curator at the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies, and Nathaniel Silver, William and Lia Poorvu Curator of the Collection at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, for an intimate viewing of one of one of the hidden gems of French Renaissance manuscript illumination. Nearly every miniature from Jean Bourdichon’s radiant “Boston Hours,” which is temporarily unbound for conservation reasons, is on view in this exhibition. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to get up close with this jewel of a book! The exhibition is accompanied by a short publication co-authored by Nicholas Herman and Anne-Marie Eze.
