When this magnificent volume first appeared in 1966, it was celebrated for its extraordinary beauty. Now, it is available once again. Illustrating one of the great art treasures of the world, The Hours of Catherine of Cleves is a fifteenth-century illuminated manuscript containing a series of some of the most beautiful illustrations of the Bible ever made. Many of the great scenes from the Old Testament and many more from the New Testament are included, besides the Stations of the Cross and portraits of the saints. The work of an unidentified Dutch master painter, the manuscript was made for Catherine of Cleves on the occasion of her marriage to the Duke of Guelders. All the 157 surviving miniatures are reproduced to actual size and in exquisite color with gold, together with three samples of pages containing the Latin prayers. Page after page reveals the elaborate program and rich illumination of the original. The progression from beginning to end shows an artist increasing in skill, relying in his earlier work on tradition and later emerging as an independent artist of bold, clear colors, dynamic brushwork, and lively imagination. He stands as one of the supreme painters of fifteenth-century Northern Europe. Each page is accompanied by a descriptive and explanatory commentary by John Plummer. His introduction discusses the development of the Book of Hours as a liturgical form in general, and the history of the Cleves Hours specifically, and describes the place it holds in the history of Northern painting. 160 color illustrations with gold embellishment 9780807614921: The Hours of Catherine of Cleves - AbeBooks The Hours of Catherine of Cleves (9780807614921) The Hours of Catherine of Cleves is a fiteenth century illuminated manuscript containing a series of some Thumbnails The Hours of Catherine of Cleves The Morgan The Hours of Catherine of Cleves thumbnails Skip to main Demons and Devotion: The Hours of Catherine of Cleves; Flemish Illumination in the Era of Catherine of Second Printing "The Hours of Catherine Cleves" by John A second printing of The Hours of Catherine Cleves by John Plummer The Hours of Catherine of Cleves: John Plummer The Hours of Catherine of Cleves This beautiful and richly illustrated book of hours was made for Catherine of Cleves on the occasion of her marriage to the Duke The Hours of Catherine of Cleves The Morgan Library The Hours of Catherine of Cleves is the greatest Dutch illuminated manuscript in the world Its 157 miniatures are by the gifted Master of Catherine of Cleves Hours of Catherine of Cleves - Infogalactic: the planetary The Hours of Catherine of Cleves (The Hours) was commissioned for Catherine Duchess of Guelders and Countess of Zutphen upon the occasion of her marriage to Arnold Catherine of Cleves - Wikipedia Ancestors of Catherine of Cleves Hours of Catherine of Cleves Facsimile edition Hours of Catherine of Cleves facsimile edition Description The book of hours was divided so artfully that a layman could gain the impression of really seeing Hours of Catherine of Cleves - Wikipedia The Hours of Catherine of Cleves (Morgan Library and Museum now divided in two parts M 917 and M 945 HOURS OF CATHERINE OF CLEVES - eifapinfo HOURS OF CATHERINE OF CLEVES HOURS OF CATHERINE OF CLEVES - Title Ebooks : HOURS OF CATHERINE OF CLEVES - Category : Kindle and eBooks PDF - Author : unidentified
