A Book of Hours made in 1544, a devotional prayer book for private lay use, held by the J. Paul Getty Museum. Its pictures are painted miniatures with gold borders, showing rich ultramarine, crimson and gold tones and clear figure groups set in landscape and architecture that a designer could borrow for jewel-toned palettes and framed storytelling layouts.
