# Book of Hours of Marie of Gueldern [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MINIATURIST, Flemish]() - Date: 1401-1450 - Technique: Manuscript \(MS Germ. qu. 42\), 180 x 134 mm ## Commentary Book of Hours of Marie of Gueldern 1415 Manuscript \(MS Germ. qu. 42\), 180 x 134 mm Staatsbibliothek, Berlin The sumptuous Book of Hours of Marie of Gueldern contains six full-page miniatures and eighty-six smaller pictures executed by a number of hands. The Hours of the Passion begins with an unusual pair, a curious Annunciation \(folio 19v\) and a more traditional Arrest of Christ \(folio 20r\). The smaller miniature of the Arrest with its stocky figures, ruddy faces, and suspended gestures cramped into a shallow space conforms to the style of other Netherlandish illustrations of the early fifteenth century, but the Annunciation is executed with the grace, aristocratic mannerism, and elegance of French miniatures. The picture shows the Arrest of Christ. ## Related artworks - [Apocalypse]() - [Boccaccio: Des cas des ruynes des nobles hommes et femmes]() - [Boethius: De consolatione philosophiae]() - [Book of Hours \(La Flora\)]() - [Book of Hours \(La Flora\)]() - [Book of Hours of Isabella of Castile]() - [Book of Hours of Isabella of Castile]() - [Book of Hours of Marie of Gueldern]() - [Book of Hours]() - [Book of Hours]() - [Book of Hours]() - [Book of Hours]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
