Question

In 2023, researchers at Hever Castle linked the ownership of one of these objects to Anne Boleyn and Catherine of Aragon, believed to be the only object from a Tudor portrait to survive to today. Giulio Clovio and Simon Bening (15[1])were renowned for these works. One of the works created by the Hardouyn Brothers appears on a green table in Hans Holbein’s (15[1])portrait (-5[1])of Thomas Cromwell. The so-called “Master of the Shadows” finished one of these works that features tympanums backed by deep (*) blue skies. These works, which are typically abridged versions of breviaries, (10[2])include one made for Etienne Chevalier by Jean Fourquet. Scenes of working peasants decorate a calendar in a “very rich” work of this type, created by the Limbourg brothers for the Duke of Berry. For 10 points, name these items that instructed Christians on when to pray. ■END■ (10[1])
