Sadly, the artist of the Maastricht Hours was never recorded and is therefore unknown. Our final image is from the "Hours of the Virgin" section. #maastrichthours #medievalart #medievalmarginalia

The Maastricht Hours is a book of hours which is a devotional text. It was thought to be created for an unknown aristocratic lady who is shown at various points in the manuscript. This is another figure found in the "Office of the Dead". #maastrichthours #medievalart #medievalmarginalia

The Maastricht Hours was produced around 1300-1325 in the Liège-Maastricht area but lacks feasts that were specific to that area. This creature is from the "Office of the Dead". #maastrichthours #medievalart #medievalmarginalia

In last week's search for medieval marginalia, I came across the Maastricht Hours, a 14th century manuscript, which is crammed with marginalia which is going to be this week's focus starting with figure within the "Hours of the Virgin" section. #maastrichthours #medievalart #medievalmarginalia
