15th Century Book of Hours: A Glimpse into the Mass of St. Gregory from the Hours of the Queen of Sweden This stunning 15th-century Book of Hours, specifically Folio 152v, showcases an exquisite illustration of the Mass of St. Gregory. Known as the Hours of the Queen of Sweden, this work is a prime example of the illustrious illuminations produced in the school of Bruges during the late Gothic period. The image depicts a group of people gathered inside a richly decorated interior, focusing on the central scene where a man, likely a priest, performs the Mass. The masculine figures in the scene, dressed in vibrant colors and robes, create a sense of depth and realism. The intricate details, from the ornate furnishings to the delicate folds of the robes, demonstrate the exceptional craftsmanship of the miniature painting. This precious artifact was once part of a significant collection, having been donated by Cardinal Francisco Javier de Zelada in 1798 to the Cathedral of Toledo, Spain. Its journey from its original creator to the esteemed institution in Spain is a testament to its historical and artistic significance. The Hours of the Queen of Sweden is a visual feast for the eyes, offering a glimpse into the religious practices and artistic styles of the late medieval period. This vertical, upright image, filled with color and detail, invites us to explore the intricacies of Gothic art and the beauty of the miniature painting tradition. This image is part of the vast collection housed in the National Library of Madrid, an autonomous community in Spain, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the country. The Book of Hours remains an essential piece of European art history, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of art to inspire and captivate.
