"The Creation of Adam and Eve from a Book of Hours" is an illuminated manuscript page created by the English artist William de Brailes in the mid-13th century. As one of the few known English illuminators of the period with signed works, de Brailes is recognized for his contribution to Gothic manuscript illumination. This particular artwork is part of a Book of Hours, a devotional book popular in the Middle Ages, which contained prayers to be recited at the canonical hours of the Christian liturgical day.

The illumination depicts the biblical scene of the creation of the first humans, Adam and Eve, as described in the Book of Genesis. It is a testament to the medieval understanding of theological narratives and showcases the artistic conventions of the time. The page is characterized by its intricate detail, rich color palette, and the use of gold leaf, which was typical of illuminated manuscripts of the period. De Brailes' work is noted for its expressive figures and the inclusion of both text and decoration, which together create a unified devotional image.

The manuscript page is significant not only for its artistry but also for its historical and cultural value. It provides insight into the religious practices and beliefs of the 13th-century English laity, as well as the broader context of medieval book production and the role of illumination in enhancing the spiritual experience of reading. The "Creation of Adam and Eve" is one of the key illustrations within the Book of Hours, serving as an important visual aid for private devotion and reflection.

William de Brailes' works, including this illustration, are held in high esteem by art historians and are considered important examples of English Gothic illumination. The "Creation of Adam and Eve from a Book of Hours" is housed in a collection that allows scholars to study the nuances of de Brailes' style and the iconographic trends of the period. Its preservation and study provide a window into the medieval world, illuminating the intersection of art, religion, and daily life in 13th-century England.
