Book of Hours (Flemish, 15th c.)
I love the borders of this Book of Hours, with all their flowers, birds, and other fauna --
February, ff. 2v-3r
December, ff. 12v-13r
Pentecost, ff. 22v-23r
Visitation, ff. 62v-63r
Flight into Egypt, ff. 108v-109r
St Francis; St Jerome, ff. 204v-205r
Yes! This is beautiful. I especially enjoyed seeing the different views of the daisy in February (the image of the back of the daisy's head is my favorite).

The faces in the Pentecost image are fascinating to me. Everything looks so fresh and immediate.
