EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century prayer book in Dutch, estimated to be created around 1430, showcases the refined piety and aristocratic elegance of the time. The unknown creator masterfully crafted this Book of Hours, a devotional text used for private prayer, with intricate decorative elements and rich colors. The cover is adorned with a portrait of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a popular saint among the nobility and aristocracy. She is depicted in a kneeling posture, clad in a blue cloak and a golden dress, holding a scroll in her hand and wearing a crown of spikes, symbolizing her martyrdom. The interior pages are adorned with gold ink and delicate illustrations, reflecting the high artistic standards of the period. The Prayer book is believed to have originated from the House of Guise or Culemborg, a powerful Dutch noble family, and was later acquired by the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden. This precious artifact offers a glimpse into the religious and artistic heritage of the fifteenth century, showcasing the beauty and devotion of the time.
