Demons and Devotion: The Hours of Catherine of Cleves
Demons and Devotion: The Hours of Catherine of Cleves
"The illuminations are a joy to look at, brightly colored and lavishly gold-bedecked, minutely detailed and compositionally innovative. Through these images, we can experience the medieval world and also sense the first stirrings of the Renaissance and even 17th-century Dutch art." [An Edgy Master by N.F. Karlins]
Ten Thousand Martyrs and St. Acacius*
The Hours of Catherine of Cleves, in Latin
Illuminated by the Master of Catherine of Cleves
The Netherlands, Utrecht, ca. 1440
Tree Growing from Adam’s Grave
Having taken root, the branch from the Tree of Mercy planted by Seth in his father's mouth grows into a healthy tree. It breaks through the slab covering Adam's grave, raising his skull in the process. The horizon glows orange: symbolically a new day has dawned. In the bottom border is depicted the sacrifice of Abraham. The patriarch's willingness to kill his son Isaac (a sacrifice stopped, as we see here, by the hand of God) symbolizes God's willingness to sacrifice his son, Christ, on the Cross. The vignette thus hints at the future of the tree painted above it in the miniature.
St. Lawrence is framed by a border of eels and fish, beautifully executed in gold and silver foil. The saint holds his attribute, the gridiron upon which he was fried to death. The artist made a playful parallel between Lawrence's method of martyrdom and the way fish are cooked.
Souls Tormented in Purgatory - "..the place to which the dying man hopes to go. There his soul, like those depicted, will be cleansed of sin in expiating, if painful, fire."

Cropped images from 'Theatrum Mortis Humanae' (The Theatre of Human Death) by Johann Weichard (Valvasor), 1682. The book was placed online late last year by Herzog August Bibliothek, Wolfenbüttel. For background, see Mr H's post at Giornale Nuovo.
