More Details
Intimate in scale and richly decorated with miniatures of scenes from the life of Christ and of the saints -- set off by delicate flower paintings and occasional lighthearted glimpses of contemporary courtly life -- The Hastings Hours remains one of the outstanding achievements of Renaissance Flemish illumination. Named after its patron, William Lord Hastings, it is one of the finest devotional books of the period to have survived. This beautifully illustrated volume includes all of the manuscript's major miniatures and many of its decorative borders, reproduced close to their actual size.
