"Horae in Laud. Beatiss. semper V.M." is a 1525 woodcut by French artist Geofrey Tory, known for his innovative book illustrations. This intricate design showcases a scene of the Adoration of the Magi, with three figures offering gifts to the Christ child. Surrounding the image are elaborate decorative borders, a hallmark of Tory's style, which reflect the influence of both Italian Renaissance and Northern European decorative motifs. The work is a fine example of the flourishing of printmaking in early 16th-century Europe.
