- Summary:
- The Spitz book of hours is one of the finest French manuscripts in the collections of the Getty Museum. It is also one of the most original and inventive manuscripts painted in the International style. The Spitz Master, Its Primary illuminator, allows the narrative of the miniatures to fill the borders, bringing its pages alive in a fresh and engaging manner. In new art-historical research, Gregory Clark places this manuscrpts vivid, even witty imagery in the turbulent context Parisian culture around 1420. Clark also examines the book of hours in the context of medieval culture, the book trade in paris, and the role of Paris as an international center of illumination. The spitz Master: A parision Book of Hours is the first study devoted entirely to the manuscript and reproduces all the book's glowing miniatures in full color. It will serve as a lively introduction to the Spitz Hours for scholars and the general public alike.
