- Info created by Jean Bourdichon (1458 - 1521) and/or workshop - the rest by me -- Jebulon (talk) 21:49, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- Support From the Horae ad usum pariensem, ca.1480, an illuminated folio, painting on parchment, featuring Saint Denis, first bishop of Paris, walking with his head in his hands after his execution. Well, he is helped by two angels. The two other martyrs on the ground are Saint Rusticus and Saint Eleutherus. Restored by me by cleaning, and enhancement of colors as it was at that time. See original as first version in file page history.-- Jebulon (talk) 21:49, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - Nice restoration job in many ways, but I think you removed too much from the right side. In the original file, we can see just a bit of the facing page, so nothing looks cut off, as the upper right corner now does. This file also feels to me like it's slightly slanted from lower left to upper right. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:17, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- Dear I.K., I don't understand your criticism. This is not just an image, but a skin folio from a hardcover book from t 15th-c. you cannot open completely. I've tried to show the page flat, which was not easy. Please try to have a look to the whole book following the links provided in the caption, sure you will understand what I mean, thank you.--Jebulon (talk) 23:40, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- Of course I understand that this is from a book, and I assure you, I'm quite familiar with old books. I don't think it's important to make the page look flat, but I do think it's important for all of it to appear to be included and for it not to look unnecessarily slanted. Part of it, too, is that I accept the appearance of an open page, as in the original file, better than an imperfect effort at giving the illusion of a flat page. I would be happier with a restoration of the page that didn't change its shape as much but mainly restricted itself to the cleanup and revivification of colors that you did so well. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:01, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
- OK, thank you. Your argumentation is now clearer for me. I understand what you mean.--Jebulon (talk) 11:32, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

- Support Excellent work! Totally in line with the colors of the era. I understand your trouble since these books risk permanent damage if you try to use an ordinary scanner on them, they have to be photographed, something that will dull the colors and you get these bent pages. (I have studied similar originals at the British Museum.) This could probably be fixed by using some 3D software but it's a complicated process. --cart-Talk 00:05, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
