The Grimani Breviary, the greatest Flemish illuminated manuscript

It truly illuminates this important period of history. Perhaps one of the most extraordinary features of this manuscript is the choice of motifs, which alternate between religious and lay themes. This manuscript, which contains 110 wonderful miniatures, was intended not only for use in the Church, but also in the private home as well.
