| Title |
Folio 10 verso from a Book of Hours, The Trinity |
| Description |
This is a remarkably large and lavishly illuminated Book of Hours, combining French and English styles. The first leaf contains a list of obits members of the royal family and of the 4th, 5th, and 6th Earls of Ormond and their wives, so it was probably made for Anne Boleyn's grandfather, Thomas Butler (1426-1515), 7th Earl of Ormond, or a member of his family. It was given in the early 16th century to a chapel at 'Suthwyke', probably Southwick in Hampshire. The second of two miniatures of the Trinity shows the Three Persons, apparently naked except for a crown they share, 'clothed' by golden rays of heavenly light, and surrounded by angels and the symbols of the Four Evangelists. |
