One of the most important Italian manuscripts in the Getty Museum,
the lavishly illustrated Gualenghi d'Este Hours was created around
1649 on the occasion of the marriage of diplomat Andrea Gualengo to
Orsina d'Este, a member of Ferrara's ruling family. The devotional
manuscript featured brilliant figured decoration of the
suffrages--short prayers to saints--and was created by Taddeo
Crivelli, one of the most important manuscript illuminators of the
Renaissance.
This volume includes reproductions of all the illuminations in the
original manuscript plus selected text pages, each with commentary.
Kurt Barstow examines the book's vivid devotional imagery in
relation to works of art of the period that help explain the Hours
significance for the fifteenth-century patrons. This beautifully
illustrated book is published to coincide with an exhibit featuring
the manuscript that will take place at the Getty Museum from May 9
to July 30, 2000.
