The cozy holy family
Daily life in the 15th century (in Europe) can be seen in this scene of the holy family from the Hours of Katherina van Kleef (Catherine of Cleves, c. 1440). This book is subject of an exhibition in Museum Het Valkhof in Nijmegen, The Netherlands from 10 October 2009 to 3 January 2010.
Within a domestic interior scattered with tools and utensils, the Virgin weaves, baby Jesus takes his first steps in a walker, and Joseph planes a board.
