Expert Solution
Step 1

The Bedford Hours is a richly adorned book that depicted the medieval period of France. It has miniature art that depicts the Bedford Duke and Duchess. It is decorated with gold, silver, and medallions. It has depictions of stories from Christian scriptures like both the Testaments. The artwork is highly realistic in nature and is telling of the highest point that was reached during that period. 

It is said that the book was commissioned by the Duchess of Bedford and was gifted to her nephew, young King Henry. 

The Story of Babel from the manuscript is one of the pieces of artwork which still sets the standards to this day.
