EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Book of Hours, vol 137,2v" from the 16th century. Bound in luxurious red velour and adorned with metal corners, this masterpiece is a testament to the craftsmanship of the Flemish School. Measuring at an impressive 209x142 cm, it is currently housed in the prestigious Sir John Soane's Museum in London. The book itself is a treasure trove of religious significance, containing biblical texts from both the Old and New Testaments. Its intricate wood material adds to its allure, evoking images of skilled woodworkers and timber cutters meticulously crafting each page. In this image, we see a servant attending to a fireplace hearth while holding a jug of water. The vibrant colors bring life to her feminine figure as she carries out her domestic duties. The warm glow emanating from the fire creates an inviting atmosphere that complements the religious undertones present throughout this artwork. This print captures not only a work of art but also provides us with glimpses into daily life during this era. It serves as a reminder of how religion played an integral role in shaping society and offers us insight into both artistic techniques and historical context.
