Illuminated Manuscript Art Tres Riches Heures Book of Hours Jean Duke of Berry

Description: The Tres Riches Heures' is the most luxurious and most famous examples of manuscript illumination in late medieval Europe. Commissioned by Jean de Berry in the early years of the 15th century, this masterpiece was executed by the three Limbourg brothers, the greatest miniaturists of the time. The Trs Riches Heures du Duc de Berry ((The Very Rich Hours of the Duke of Berry), is an illuminated manuscript that was created between c.1412 and 1416. It is considered a book of hours, which is a type of Christian devotional book or a collection of prayers that was said at canonical hours. The manuscript was created for John, Duke of Berry, the brother of King Charles V of France, by Limbourg brothers Paul, Johan and Herman. The book is now MS 65 in the Muse Cond, Chantilly, France. Consisting of a total of 206 leaves of very fine quality parchment, 30 cm (12 in) in height by 21.5 cm (8+12 in) in width, the manuscript contains 66 large miniatures and 65 small. The design of the book, which is long and complex, has undergone many changes and reversals. Many artists contributed to its miniatures, calligraphy, initials, and marginal decorations, but determining their precise number and identity remains a matter of debate. Painted largely by artists from the Low Countries, often using rare and costly pigments and gold, and with an unusually large number of illustrations, the book is one of the most lavish late medieval illuminated manuscripts. The work was created in the late artistic phase of the International Gothic style..
