large-scale figures suggest experience with monumental painting. The three quires
occupied by the miniatures were completed by a main artist and an associate who
largely shared the same palette, though each of them expanded it with additional
pigments of his own choice. The main artist completed quire 1 (fols. 3r‒10v). The
associate illuminated quire 2 (fols. 11r‒18v), with occasional intervention from the
lead artist who designed some of the miniatures. Quire 3 (fols. 19r‒25v) was desi-
gned largely by the main artist, but coloured by him and the associate. The palette
features three blues: ultramarine, indigo and azurite. Both artists favoured azurite in
blue draperies modelled with strong contrasts between folds and highlights. Fabrics
painted with organic pink, though more subtle, still convey volume and plasticity.
The work of Master Honoré represents the full development of painterly mo-
delling in Parisian illumination by the early 1290s (pl. 10). In a copy of La Somme
le roi probably made c. 1290‒1295 for Philip IV of France and his queen, Honoré
layered pigments in varying saturations, employed glazes and shaded some colours
with alternative hues, for instance verdigris with indigo (pl. 12g).42
