Description

The “Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry” is thought of as the finest 15th-century illuminated manuscript and the supreme example of painting within the International Gothic style. Tres Riches Heures: In the back of the Gothic Masterpiece reproduces probably the most finest miniatures and describes and discusses the photographs. It examines the history of the manuscript and the unbelievable story of the artists, the Limbourg Brothers, who first painted the intricate main points of fairy-tale castles, sweeping landscapes, birds, animals, or even insects, with such accuracy. The creator also places the paintings in an historical context, with the hardships of real life on the time of the Plague, providing a stark contrast to the depictions of harmony and peace.
