Hours of Queen Isabella the Catholic, Queen of Spain, c
Hours of Queen Isabella the Catholic, Queen of Spain, c. 1500. A great lover of Flemish art, Queen Isabella treasured her many devotional books. This deluxe manuscript was created for her private devotions by highly organized and distinctly talented manuscript painters active in Ghent and Bruges. The Ghent-Bruges school represents the culmination of Flemish book painting, whose main features were the use of rich colours, illusionistic effects, a love of landscape, and a strong sense of visual narrative. Manuscripts produced by this circle of artists are renowned for their border decoration featuring a rich variety of realistically painted flowers, scrolling acanthus leaves, birds, and butterflies

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Hours of Queen Isabella the Catholic, Queen of Spain, a masterpiece created around 1500. Known for her deep appreciation of Flemish art, Queen Isabella cherished her collection of devotional books. This particular deluxe manuscript was exclusively crafted for her private devotions by highly skilled manuscript painters from Ghent and Bruges. The Ghent-Bruges school, which reached its pinnacle during this period, epitomized Flemish book painting with its distinct characteristics. The artists employed rich colors and illusionistic effects to bring their creations to life. They also demonstrated a profound love for landscapes and excelled in visual storytelling. One remarkable aspect of manuscripts produced by this circle of talented artists is their exquisite border decoration. These borders feature an array of meticulously painted flowers that appear astonishingly realistic. Scrolling acanthus leaves intertwine with birds and butterflies, creating an enchanting tapestry that complements the main illustrations. Crafted on vellum using ink and tempera techniques, this bound volume showcases the exceptional craftsmanship prevalent in Flanders during the late 15th century. It is attributed to both associates from Bruges and Ghent as well as the renowned Master of the First Prayerbook of Maximillian. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this extraordinary piece from Heritage Art/Heritage Images serves as a testament to Queen Isabella's passion for fine art and stands as a significant part of Flemish heritage.
