The Hours of Ippolita Sforza is a deluxe Christian prayer book, perhaps made for the Countess of Venafro, the daughter of Gian Galeazzo Sforza of Milan and Isabella of Naples, whose coat of arms features in the book. Its splendid miniatures are the work of Jean Bourdichon, who illuminated manuscripts for four kings of France, such as the Great Hours of Anne of Brittany. Created in Tours at the turn of the sixteenth century, the manuscript showcases Bourdichon's dramatic close-up views of sacred history in twenty-six miniatures, some full-page with simple frames, the others smaller on pages featuring painted borders.
