The Trés Riches Heures of Jean, Duke of Berry
by Jean Longnon, et al.
One of the most successful art books of all time, The Trés Riches Heures of Jean, Duke of Berry was cited by eminent art historian Kenneth Clark as "one of the miracles of art history". This book of hours was commissioned by Jean of Berry, one of the most influential patrons of all times, and it marks the zenith of late medieval illustration. Each of its 139 miniatures, here reproduced in full color and to exact scale of the original, reveals the decorative and pictorial genius of the three Limbourg Brothers who painted them. Providing an in-depth description for each of the plates, the authors' commentaries lend insight into the marvels of the miniatures and reveal the book's place within the development of Northern Renaissance painting.
