THE MORGAN BLACK HOURS

The Black Hours is an illuminated book of hours completed in Bruges between 1460 and 1475. It consists of 121 pages (leaves), with Latin text written in Gothic minuscule script. The words are arranged in rows of fourteen lines and follow the Roman version of the texts. The lettering is inscribed in silver and gold and placed within borders ornamented with flowers, foliage and grotesques, on pages dyed a deep blueish black. It contains fourteen full-page miniatures and opens with the months of the liturgical calendar followed by the Hours of the Virgin, and ends with the Office of the Dead.

The anonymous painter of the Black Hours is an artist whose style depended mainly upon that of Willem Vrelant, one of the dominant illuminators working in Bruges from the late 1450s until his death in 1481. As in the work of Vrelant, figures in angular drapery move somewhat stiffly in shallowly defined spaces. The men's flat faces are dominated by large noses.

Only seven copies exist. The one shown is held by the Morgan Library. [View large]

PALAZZO PISANI MORETTA, s.XV.

(Español / English / Italiano)

El edificio se construyó en la segunda mitad del siglo xv, por lo que se lo considera tardo-gótico. En 1629 fue residencia de una rama de la familia patrícia de los Pisani, en concreto de los Pisani Moretta,Francesco Pisani Moretta, último descendiente varón de la familia, cedió en herencia la propiedad a su hija Chiara en 1737.

Siendo Chiara propietaria se realizaron numerosas reformas, entre ellas la substitución de la primitiva escalera exterior por una escalinata interior, realizada por Andrea Tirali, y la decoración de las estancias con frescos pintados por los artistas en boga del momento. En el interior, remodelado con elementos barrocos y neoclásicos, destaca la primera planta principal, organizada en torno a una gran sala de recepción de cerca de 24 metros de longitud decorada con frescos de Jacopo Guarana y que presenta salas laterales, en dos de las cuales hay obras de Giovanni Battista Tiepolo y de Pietro Longhi.A lo largo del tiempo, el palacio ha ido pasando por diferentes manos, todas ellas vinculadas a las familias originarias, las cuales acogieron como invitados a personajes históricos como Josefina de Beauharnais o José II del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico. Gracias a las restauraciones de los últimos tiempos y a la recuperación de sus colecciones artísticas y mobiliario original, el palacio Pisani ha vuelto a adquirir parte del esplendor del que durante siglos fue objeto.

The building was constructed in the second half of the 15th century, it is considered to be late Gothic. In 1629 it was the residence of a branch of the Pisani patrician family, specifically of the Pisani Moretta, Francesco Pisani Moretta, the last male descendant of the family, bequeathed the property to his daughter Chiara in 1737.

During Chiara's ownership, numerous alterations were carried out, including the replacement of the original external staircase with an internal staircase by Andrea Tirali, and the decoration of the rooms with frescoes painted by the artists in vogue at the time. The interior has been remodelled with baroque and neoclassical elements, and the first floor is the main floor, organised around a large reception room about 24 metres long, decorated with frescoes by Jacopo Guarana and with side rooms, two of which contain works by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo and Pietro Longhi.Over the years, the palace has passed through different hands, all of them linked to the original families, who welcomed as guests historical figures such as Josephine of Beauharnais or Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire. Thanks to recent restorations and the recovery of its artistic collections and original furnishings, Palazzo Pisani has regained some of the splendour it enjoyed for centuries.

L'edificio fu costruito nella seconda metà del XV secolo ed è quindi considerato tardo gotico. Nel 1629 era la residenza di un ramo della famiglia patrizia Pisani, la famiglia Pisani Moretta. Francesco Pisani Moretta, ultimo discendente maschio della famiglia, lasciò la proprietà in eredità alla figlia Chiara nel 1737.

Durante la proprietà di Chiara furono eseguiti numerosi interventi, tra cui la sostituzione della scala esterna originale con una scala interna di Andrea Tirali, e la decorazione delle sale con affreschi realizzati dagli artisti in voga all'epoca. L'interno è stato rimodellato con elementi barocchi e neoclassici, e il primo piano è quello principale, organizzato intorno a un grande salone di rappresentanza lungo circa 24 metri, decorato con affreschi di Jacopo Guarana e con sale laterali, due delle quali contengono opere di Giovanni Battista Tiepolo e Pietro Longhi.Nel corso degli anni, il palazzo è passato attraverso diverse mani, tutte legate alle famiglie originarie, che hanno accolto come ospiti personaggi storici come Giuseppina di Beauharnais o Giuseppe II del Sacro Romano Impero. Grazie ai recenti restauri e al recupero delle collezioni artistiche e degli arredi originali, Palazzo Pisani ha riacquistato parte dello splendore di cui ha goduto per secoli.
