| Title |
Folio 15v from a Book of Hours |
| Description |
This is a remarkably large and lavishly illuminated Book of Hours, combining French and English styles. The first leaf contains a list of obits members of the royal family and of the 4th, 5th, and 6th Earls of Ormond and their wives, so it was probably made for Anne Boleyn's grandfather, Thomas Butler (1426-1515), 7th Earl of Ormond, or a member of his family. It was given in the early 16th century to a chapel at 'Suthwyke', probably Southwick in Hampshire. Facing the start of the Hours of the Virgin, this full-page miniature combines scenes from her life (Annunciation, Visitation, Nativity, Ascension to Heaven, and Coronation), with scenes from Christ's life (Agony in the Garden, Resurrection and Appearance to Mary Magdalene, and his Ascension). |
