EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a Book of Hours and Prayerbook in Dutch, originating from the Lower Rhineland region in Emmerich, Cleves. Created around 1480 by the skilled hands of the Dutch School during the 15th century, this exquisite manuscript is a true testament to their craftsmanship. Measuring at 14.1x10.4 cm, this precious artifact is bound in calfskin over boards with metal clasps, adding to its allure and protection. The ink and pigment on vellum & paper bring life to its pages, which are adorned with intricate illuminations that illuminate both religious texts and prayers. As we delve into its contents, we are transported back in time to an era deeply rooted in faith and devotion. This book served as a guide for individuals seeking solace through prayer within the Christian religion. Its delicate lettering beautifully captures the essence of spirituality that was cherished during those times. Now part of a private collection, this Book of Hours and Prayerbook offers us a glimpse into centuries past while reminding us of the enduring power of religious beliefs throughout human history. Through this photograph taken by eChristies Images and made available by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate not only its artistic value but also gain insight into our collective spiritual heritage.
