The Spinola Hours, a personal prayer book from the 16th century, is a masterclass in Flemish naturalistic illusionism, with its pages adorned with visually stunning illustrations. This lavish book of hours encapsulates a liturgical calendar, the Hours of the Virgin, the Office for the Dead, and an array of other devotional texts, hymns and readings - each decorated with sophisticated illuminations that are reproduced in the Paperblanks diary designs. Imagine entering a bygone era of religious devotion and artistic indulgence every time you pen a note in this diary – a testament to the creative brilliance of this historic manuscript.
