Infrared Imaging Reveals Medieval Prayer Book Painting
CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND
Live Science reports that scientists at the University of Cambridge used near-infrared imaging to examine a dark spot on a page in an illustrated Christian prayer book commissioned in 1431 by Yolande of Aragon, the duchess of Anjou. The duchess gave the prayer book to her daughter, Yolande of Anjou, who married Duke Francis I of Brittany in 1431. The young woman died in 1440.

She gave it to her daughter Yolande of Anjou (1412-1440) when the daughter married Duke Francis I of Brittany in 1431. The couple had a son who died in childhood, and Yolande herself died in 1440.
