Glockendon Hours<\/em>, 1534<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Looking first to the art of Albrecht D\u00fcrer<\/a><\/strong> <\/a>and then to the lesson of Simon Bening<\/a><\/strong>, the illuminator Nikolaus Glockendon<\/strong>, born into a family of artists in Nuremberg, was the main exponent of the local school in the early decades of the sixteenth century, winning prestigious commissions and the protection of the powerful cardinal Albert of Mainz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nikolaus\u2019s first works date to the 1510s and are still steeped in the style of his father and brother, as well as being influenced by Jacob Elsner<\/strong>. His collaboration with the high prelate had begun back in 1524, when Glockendon completed the Missale Hallense<\/em> of the Hofbibliothek in Achaffenburg (ms. 10), of which 10 pages are preserved in the Mittelrheinische Landesmuseum in Mainz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
