Around this arched panel a continuous landscape carries scenes from his life: the Baptism of Christ in a distant river, John preaching to a seated crowd, his arrest beside a barred tower, his beheading in a courtyard, Herod's feast and the burning of his bones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leaf comes from a book of devotional prayers, and the museum reads its border scenes counterclockwise from the upper left. Its painter made manuscripts for European royalty, among them James IV, king of Scotland, and Queen Isabella of Spain; he may be Gerard Horenbout, who became a master in the painters' guild of Ghent in 1487.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: a cutting from a book of devotional prayers, tempera, ink and shell gold on parchment, made in Bruges about 1515; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Master of James IV of Scotland is the name scholars give a Flemish illuminator active in the years around 1500, after a portrait of King James IV of Scotland in a devotional manuscript. Over some forty years the artist directed an active workshop and contributed to many lavish manuscripts of the period, filling them with robust, unidealised figures, vivid scenes of daily life and borders that play illusionistic games with the miniatures they frame. Some evidence suggests the master may be the painter Gerard Horenbout. Leaves are held by the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
