Pierpont Morgan (1837–1913) The Black Hours, One of Seven Surviving Books of Hours on Black Vellum The Black Hours, a book of hours written and illuminated on vellum that was stained or painted black, was probably produced in Bruges about 1475. It is one of seven surviving books of hours on black vellum, all of which were produced in Flemish workshops in the second half of the 15th century. It was illuminated by an unknown artist whose style was largely imitative of that of Willem Vrelant, one of the most prolific, influential, and commercially successful illuminators working in Bruges from the late 1450s until his death in 1481. The text of The Black Hours is written in silver and gold, with gilt initials and line endings composed of chartreuse panels enlivened with yellow filigree. The borders consist of gold foliage on a monochromatic blue background. The artist executed the miniatures in a restricted palette of blue, old rose, and light flesh tones, with dashes of green, gray, and white. He used the solid black background to great advantage, especially by means of gold highlighting. As in the work of Vrelant, figures in angular drapery move somewhat stiffly in shallowly defined spaces. The men’s flat faces are dominated by large noses.The Black Hours is preserved in the Morgan Library & Museum (MS.

Crafted in a Columban monastery, it likely began on the Isle of Iona in Scotland in the early 8th century. After a Viking raid, it was moved to Kells, Ireland, where it may have been completed in the early 9th century. The book’s lavishly decorated pages feature intricate Christian iconography, Celtic knots, and vibrant colors, making it a pinnacle of Insular illumination. The manuscript contains the four Gospels of the New Testament. It was likely produced in a monastery on the Isle of Iona in Scotland during the early 8th century. After a Viking raid, the book was relocated to Kells, Ireland, possibly in the 9th century. The manuscript showcases remarkable early-medieval miniatures, including full-page illustrations of Christ, Mary with Child, and the Evangelists. Elaborate typefaces and finely patterned initials adorned with luminous colors demonstrate the masterful technical expertise behind its creation. Notably, the Book of Kells features unconventional materials: orpiment, a rare arsenic sulfide mineral, replaces gold, and lapis lazuli, exclusively found in Afghanistan at the time, contributes to its vibrant blue hues. The manuscript’s charm extends to whimsical depictions, such as a letter “N” formed by two small men tugging each other’s beards and a mouse pursued by a cat after stealing a communion wafer.
