Two artists, active around 1440/50, contributed to the decorations
of this book of hours: the older one, who created only the three
miniatures on f. 13v, 105v and 140v, is part of the
“Goldrankenstil,” while the younger one is characterized by
greater physicality and more vibrant coloring because he was
influenced by the innovations of the contemporary painting of the
van Eyck brothers. This second artist is responsible for the
completion of the Turin-Milan Hours in the year 1440 and also
contributed to the Llangattock Book of hours. In 1813 the
manuscript was given to the prioress of the Cloister of the
Bernardine Sisters of Oudenaarde by the Prince of Broglie.
