Source Description
The Suchtelen Hours is a fine example of artists working in the style of the Master of the Prayerbooks ca. 1500. The book is believed to have been produced in Bruges and owned by someone associated with the Franciscan order and the Utrecht diocese. The nine extant, full-page, highly detailed miniatures exhibit clarity of forms and a vivid color palette. Of particular interest are the border illuminations that appear either surrounding the miniatures or as strips running along the sides of the text. Illusionistic flowers, insects, and animals lend to the charm of the manuscript, and speak to the skill of the artist.
