Het getijdenboek van Katherina van Kleef mag met recht het meest schitterende en interessante handschrift worden genoemd dat ooit in de Noorderlijke Nederlanden is vervaardigd. Het werd rond 1440 verlucht met spectaculaire miniaturen en margeversieringen in glinsterend goud en met sprankelende kleuren voor Katherina van Kleef, hertogin van Gelre, door een bijzonder getalenteerde maar anonieme kunstenaar, die naar dit meesterwerk wordt vernoemd. Dit fraai geillustreerde boekwerk vormt de begeleidende wetenschappelijke catalogus bij een unieke tentoonstelling, getiteld De wereld van Katherina. Devotie, demonen en dagelijks leven in de 15e eeuw, die in het najaar van 2009 in Museum Het Valkhof, Nijmegen, te zien zal zijn. De tentoonstelling is gewijd aan dit bijzondere getijdenboek, zijn opdrachtgeverd en de boekverluchter die het heeft vervaardigd en toont niet alleen meer dan 100 bladen met miniaturen en randen uit dit spectaculaire handschrift, maar laat ook een keur aan handschriften uit het oeuvre van de meester zien, als ook zijn inspiratiebronnen en werken van contemporaine kunstenaars. Alle tentoongestelde objecten, afkomstig uit collecties over de hele wereld, worden in deze catalogus toegelicht en afgebeeld. Deze catalogusnotities worden voorafgegaan door een aantal essays door erkende specialisten. Dankzij hun bijdragen biedt deze catalogus een uitgebreide en diepgaande studie van het handschrift, de kunstenaar en de opdrachtgever en presenteert nieuwe gegevens. Het is daarmee een standaardwerk over dit monumentale handschrift.
The Hours of Catherine of Cleves is arguably the most beautiful and interesting manuscript ever to be produced in the Northern Netherlands. It was illuminated with spectacular miniatures and borders in glistening gold and sumptuous colors around 1440 for Catherine of Cleves, Duchess of Guelders, by an exceptionally gifted but anonymous artist, named after this, his masterpiece.
This beautifully illustrated volume is the accompanying scholarly catalogue to a unique exhibition, entitled Catherine's World. Devotion, Demons and Daily Life in the 15th century, to be shown at Museum Het Valkhof, Nijmegen (NL) in the fall of 2009. The exhibition is dedicated to this extraordinary book of hours, its patron and the illuminator who created it, and shows not only over a 100 leaves with miniatures and borders from this spectacular manuscript, but also presents a cross-section of the oeuvre of the artist, his sources of inspiration and work by contemporary artists.
All objects on display, stemming from collections all over the world, are discussed and illustrated in this catalogue. These catalogue entries are preceded by a number of essays by renowned specialists. Thanks to their contributions, the catalogue provides an extensive and in-depth discussion of the manuscript, the artist and the patron and presents new findings, making it the most up to date study on this monumental manuscript.
