Arenberg Hours
The Arenberg Hours is a manuscript book of hours, a private prayer book, painted in the Flemish manner by Willem Vrelant, a Bruges illuminator, for a devotional patron. The pictures are small framed miniatures set on pages of gold-dotted ground with blue and red acanthus scrolls, and a designer might take from them the way a painted border frames a scene with a decorated initial and text block.
