Book of Hours, St. George slaying the dragon, Made for use in the diocese of Cambrai ca. 1450-60, this Book of Hours is extraordinary for its lavish illumination. It was likely produced by several artists within the circle of Willlem Vrelant, and the wealth of texts and images recall the richness of manuscripts by Vrelant from the same era, such as the Hours of Isabel la Católica (Biblioteca del Palacio Real, Madrid, Arm. Inf. 61) completed in Bruges ca. 1455
