Book of hours, ca. 1465–1500
“The intricately crafted and absolutely perfect pages of a book of hours never fail to delight me. What is particularly fascinating to me is how the vibrancy of the colours has been preserved over the centuries. This page is a good example of this – it is easy to get lost in the details. It makes you want to reach for a coloured pencil and copy one of these beautiful designs, even though they are only decorative additions to the scene being depicted. It is always a delight to come across an illuminated manuscript like this in a museum collection.” Cornelia Brüggemann, Assistant to the General Director
