The Limbourg Brothers were the most gifted 14th c. manuscript illuminators. Their remarkable Book of Hours of the Duke of Berry (Les Belles Heures du duke de Berry) is richly illustrated with a luminous palette. Their attention to detail and their interest in the natural world and the way to represent it, foreshadow the work of the great Jan van Eyck and of the Dutch artists of the 15th century.
The calendar section is especially beautiful.
