Folio 86 verso from a Book of Hours, The raising of Lazarus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
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. Most miniatures of this size in the manuscript, which are French in style, are surrounded by borders in a typical English style. Here there is no border, which suggests that the miniatures were perhaps imported to England like this, and in only this case the English borders were not added. |
