Initial D: The Virgin and Child; Book of Hours, about 1405-1410. Additional Info:Within this initial D, the Madonna of Humility sits humbly on the ground. Despite her lowly pose, the anonymous artist or artists, known as the Masters of Dirc van Delf, reminded the viewer of the Virgin's lofty status as the Queen of Heaven by showing her crowned, and celebrated by a music-making angel in the upper border.
