In reality, however, medieval conceptions of womanhood were multifaceted, and women’s roles were varied and nuanced. Female stereotypes existed in the medieval world, but so too did women of power and influence. The pages of illuminated manuscripts reveal to us the many facets of medieval womanhood and slices of medieval life—from preoccupations with biblical heroines and saints to courtship, childbirth, and motherhood.

Sacred Landscapes, which accompanies an exhibition at the  J.

Readers will see the influence of such masters as Albrecht Dürer, Jan van Eyck, Leonardo da Vinci, and Piero della Francesca and will gain new appreciation for manuscript illuminators like Simon Bening, Joris Hoefnagel, Vincent Raymond, and the Spitz Master.

Beginning with an illuminating discussion of the history, techniques, and meanings of these works, it continues with their examination and documentation, including chapters on the identification of both the wooden support and the polychromy itself—the paint layers, metal leaf, and other materials used for these sculptures. The volume also covers the many aspects of treatment: the process of determining the best approach; consolidation and adhesion of paint, ground, and support; overpaint removal and surface cleaning; and compensation.

With miniatures displaying astounding plays of spatial illusionism, the luxurious personal prayer book known as the Spinola Hours is one of the most visually sophisticated Flemish manuscripts of the sixteenth century. A book of hours contains a calendar of Church holidays, the Hours of the Virgin, which is a cycle of prayer services devoted to the Virgin Mary, the Office for the Dead, and other prayers, hymns, and readings. This particular book augments these contents with a special series of weekday offices and masses, providing even more possibilities for rich illuminations. The Master of James IV of Scotland, while the primary illuminator, collaborated with several artists to produce the eighty-eight large illuminations in the manuscript, including this rendering of Mary Magdalene framed by flowers, a dragonfly and a butterfly.","brand":"GETTY TRUST PUBLICATIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33003062689869,"sku":"GBM62","price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8502\/products\/GBM62_a.jpg?v=1603150282"},{"product_id":"book-of-hours-silk-scarf","title":"Book of Hours Silk Scarf","description":"This silk chiffon scarf is long, feather-light, and beautifully soft with imagery based on illustrations found in copies of the Book of Hours.

Grollemond and Keene take us through the tropes and imagery that first built the fantasy of medieval times and follow it through to our own modern day retellings with vivid illustrations, thought-provoking commentary on the past and current social context, and careful deconstruction of what was truly historical and what has become legend. An intriguing read for anyone who has wondered at the origins of legends like Robin Hood, King Arthur and the Round Table, and the magic and myth of fairies, princesses, wizards, and kings.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—Jenny Elder Moke, author of \u003ci\u003eHood \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“A lavishly illustrated book full of delights and surprises: King Arthur’s knights, talking animals, music, movies, maps, and Renaissance fairs all make an appearance, alongside insights into race, gender, and sexuality, both in the medieval past and today.  The authors even offer glimpses of vast, premodern worlds beyond Europe and Christendom—in this book, your grandad's European Middle Ages is wholly remade by new ideas and new pleasures in how the past is recovered today.”\u003cbr\u003e—Geraldine Heng, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Invention of Race in the European Middle Ages\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Global Middle Ages: An Introduction\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n144 pages\u003cbr\u003e9 x 10 1\/4 inches\u003cbr\u003e142 color illustrations\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 978-1-60606-758-1\u003cbr\u003ehardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Getty Publications\u003cbr\u003e Imprint: J.
