Image description

This miniature begins Vespers of the Office of the Dead, which was included at the end of nearly every book of hours. These prayers were recited in order to lessen the time that deceased friends and relatives had to spend in Purgatory. This image is a particularly graphic depiction of a burial in a church cemetery and a decaying corpse. The use of the grisaille technique, which was popularized a century earlier by the Parisian illuminator Jean Pucelle (d. 1334) and his followers, contributes to the morbid atmosphere of the miniature.
