Initial H: David in Prayer; Book of Hours, about 1500. Additional Info: Rendered in minute detail, the golden border decoration on this page is drawn directly from late medieval churches, which were adorned inside and out with intricately carved sculpture. Statues of saints and prophets were often embedded in tracery, ornamental openwork based on elements of church architecture. Evoking a sacred setting, such tracery surrounds the figure in the right side of the frame, as well as King David as he kneels in prayer in the central scene.
