Cardinal York's Book of Hours

c.1500

RCIN 1005087

Books of Hours were intended as private prayer books for ordinary people, matching the hours of the liturgical day. They were usually mass-produced, but could be finely decorated to order. This portrait of Saint Mark is based on a portrait of Saint Matthew in the Briçonnet Hours illuminated by Jean Poyer (fl. Tours 1483 – 97).
