This leaf fragment from the famous former Dennistoun collection was identified not long ago as the work of the Sienese painter Andrea di Bartolo, who may be regarded as a leading illuminator of the last decade of the 14th century This most finely painted miniature may well be contemporaneous with the choir books made for Henry IV, or from very shortly before then, and reveals the illustrator to be a leading illuminator in Siena at the turn of the 15th century.
