Demons and Devotion: the Hours of Catherine of Cleves March 18, 2010

The Hours of Catherine of Cleves, a fifteenth-century Dutch manuscript that is among the most beautiful and sophisticated illuminated works ever created, is the subject of a major exhibition at The Morgan Library & Museum. The show includes nearly a hundred individual pages from the lavishly painted manuscript, which has been disbound for this special occasion. The exhibition is supplemented with illuminated works by both predecessors and contemporaries of the book's anonymous artist, known to art historians as "the Master of Catherine of Cleves."
