Book of Hours
This Book of Hours is a devotional prayer book produced around 1410, probably in France, for private lay use, held by the J. Paul Getty Museum. Its pages show gold-patterned and blue-diapered grounds, initials with foliage borders, and small scenes of kneeling donors, saints and the Virgin with Child in the Gothic manner. A designer could draw on the dense gold-ink vine borders, the diapered backgrounds, and the framed miniature-and-text layout.
