Willem Vrelant (d. 1481/82) was one of the leading figures of Flemish #illumination, which produced some of the finest #manuscripts in all of medieval book art. It was created for Queen Eleanor of Portugal (1458–1525) possibly as a wedding present on the occasion of her union with King John II (1455–95). It is a masterpiece of the grisaille technique, which minimized the use of color in favor of fine shading and various grey tones that are in turn highlighted by the judicious use of gold leaf. The Libro de Horas de la Reina Doña Leonor, also called As Perfeitíssimas Horas da rainha D. Leonor or “The Perfect Hours of Queen D. Leonor” in English is distinguished by the extreme delicacy of its dense marginal décor consisting of a kaleidoscope of plants, animals, human figures, and creatures of fantasy. It is a work of art worthy of one of the most important queen consorts in the history of the Kingdom of Portugal.
