Description
Farnese Hours

Renaissance Italy was all about displays of magnificence, especially among the various princes of Italy, be they secular princes or princes of the church. Cardinal Alessandro Farnese (1520–1589), a descendant of one of the most powerful dynasties in Italy, was also one of the greatest art patrons of the 16th century. Alessandro descended in direct lineage from Pope Paul III and commissioned wonderful works of art to reflect his proud lineage. Alessandro’s exquisite and demanding taste is reflected in his prayer book, for whose decoration he hired Croatian born Giulio Clovio (1498–1578), the most talented miniaturist of the Italian Renaissance. The Farnese Hours clearly constitutes Clovio’s masterpiece, and is regarded as one of the most exquisite illuminated manuscripts to ever be made.

Farnese Hours

The Farnese Hours is the most significant manuscript of Italian Renaissance and Mannerist art. It was made around 1546 in Rome, world capital of the arts, where such incomparable masters as Raphael and Michelangelo introduced a new artistic epoch. The most famous and eminent illuminator of the period was Croatian born Giulio Clovio, who animated the Farnese Hours with his unique miniatures, which appear at once monumental and delicate. Clovio created this very intimate prayer book for the famous Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, one of the greatest art patrons of the 16th century. 26 full-page miniatures and 37 lavishly decorated text pages make the Farnese Hours one of the finest manuscripts in the history of art.

The Patron

His family long influenced the destiny of Rome, the most excellent artists of his time executed several works in his name, and he commissioned one of the finest manuscripts ever made in history: Cardinal Alessandro Farnese (1520–1589), a descendant of one of the most powerful dynasties in Italy. Alessandro descended in direct lineage from Pope Paul III and administered the priceless art collections of his family.

A "Raphael of Miniature Painting"

Alessandro’s exquisite and demanding taste is also reflected in his prayer book, for whose decoration he hired Croatian born Giulio Clovio (1498–1578), the most talented miniaturist of the Italian Renaissance. This book of hours clearly constitutes Clovio’s masterpiece. In its monumental miniatures, he achieved a degree of craftsmanship which earned him the surname of a "new Michelangelo" or a "Raphael of miniature painting".

Magnificent Renaissance Art in a Silver Binding

A total of 26 full-page miniatures, sometimes facing one another in pairs, show a unique and perfect amalgamation of Renaissance and Mannerist elements. The exquisite application of gold and luminous colors combine into a magnificently holistic work of art. The miniatures are paired according to the same typology – each time a scene from the Old Testament is faced with an episode of the New Testament. A further fascinating aspect of the Farnese Hours is its elaborate borders, framing the 37 decorated text pages with atmospheric landscapes, naturalistic still-lives, impressive portraits, and the best of grotesque motifs. The initial soft leather binding of the manuscript, bound by two red silk ribbons, was replaced in the early 17th century by gilded silver covers by Antonio Gentili, adding to the splendor of this precious milestone of art history.

Farnese Hours

The Fall of Man

This miniature depicting the fall from grace has the quality and detail of a panel painting. Wrapped around the tree, the devil is shown as a serpent with the fair face of a young man looking at Eve as she extends the forbidden fruit toward Adam. Aside from the beautiful forms of the muscular Adam and the fertile Eve, the Garden of Eden is filled with deer, rabbits, squirrels, mice, and a bull lazily grazing and enjoying the blissful ignorance that the original humans are about to lose.

Farnese Hours

Corpus Christi Procession

This lovely double-page miniature is the most impressive image in the manuscript and one of the most striking in any book of hours, it depicts the procession to St. Peter's Basilica in Rome during the Feast of Corpus Christi. The Tiber, Castel Sant'Angelo, and city walls are all depicted with the accuracy of a topographical representation.

A long procession of cardinals, bishops, ministers, Swiss Guards, acolytes, and others accompany Pope Paul III. (Alessandro Farnese), who sits in the Sedia gestatoria, the Pope’s ceremonial throne, and holds the Ostensorium, a monstrance with the Host. Above, the clouds open to reveal visions of the Holy Trinity and the Virgin Mary looking down on the procession. Cherubs in the clouds toss flowers down at the devotees.
