"Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry: Août" is a renowned illuminated manuscript page from the "Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry," one of the most famous and lavish examples of Gothic manuscript illumination. This particular page, dedicated to the month of August, is part of a book of hours commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, around 1410. The manuscript itself is a collection of prayers to be said at the canonical hours and is richly illustrated with a calendar of monthly activities and scenes from religious narratives.

The "Août" (August) folio is especially noted for its detailed depiction of the late summer harvest and aristocratic life in medieval France. It showcases a panoramic view of the Château d'Étampes surrounded by the labor of peasants in the fields, highlighting the social hierarchy and the agricultural practices of the time. The illustration is attributed to the Limbourg brothers, Paul, Jean, and Herman, who were among the most renowned manuscript illuminators of the early 15th century. Their work on this manuscript is celebrated for its intricate detail, vibrant colors, and innovative use of perspective, which marked a departure from the more static and symbolic style of earlier medieval art.

The "Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry: Août" is not only a masterpiece of Gothic art but also a valuable historical document that offers insight into the daily life, culture, and landscape of medieval France. It remains a subject of extensive scholarly interest and is housed in the Musée Condé, Chantilly, France, where it continues to fascinate both art historians and the general public.

It's important to note that while the manuscript is widely recognized and studied, the specific mention of Harry J. Pearson as associated with "Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry: Août" does not align with historical records or scholarly references. The creation of the manuscript is primarily attributed to the Limbourg brothers, under the commission of John, Duke of Berry, in the early 15th century.
