Owner portraits often appear in the illuminations or historiated initials of the popular late-medieval devotional, the book of hours. By the 13th century, a text known as the book of hours had filled a much sought-after longing of the laity to mimic the practices of the clergy. Through the production of this new lay prayer book, the practice of monastic communities gathering at canonical hours to recite prayers could now be practiced individually by lay people. These prayer books were often commissioned for, and at times by, women. This paper will discuss one specific book of hours, commissioned by a 15th century Duchess, Catherine of Cleves. The Hours of Catherine of Cleves, illuminated by the Master of Catherine of Cleves, a famously original artist recognized as the finest illuminator of the medieval northern Netherlands, is a masterpiece. The incredibly detailed miniatures display not only a unique and lavish display of biblical narrative, but the author portraits and full pages on which they appear offer a very personal look into the life and priorities of its owner and commissioner, Catherine of Cleves. This paper seeks to explore the leaves of the Hours of Catherine of Cleves where her portrait appears. I examine the purposeful prominence of feminine themes as well as emphasis on her personal heraldry and ancestors, rather than that of her husband. These purposeful emphases support that Catherine was not only the commissioner, but also involved in artistic decisions surrounding key images included in her book of hours.
