Demons and Devotion: The Hours of Catherine of Cleves at The Morgan
January 26th, 2010
The Hours of Catherine of Cleves is the most important and lavish of all Dutch manuscripts as well as one of the most beautiful among the Morgan’s collection. Commissioned by Catherine of Cleves around 1440 and illustrated by an artist known as the Master of Catherine of Cleves, the work is an illustrated prayer book containing devotions that Catherine would recite throughout the day. The manuscript’s two volumes have been disbound for the exhibition, which features nearly a hundred miniatures.
