Painting Description
"Jean de France, Duke of Berry Praying Before the Eternal Father" is an illuminated manuscript page from "Les Petites Heures de Jean de Berry," a book of hours commissioned by Jean, Duke of Berry (1340–1416). This particular illumination, attributed to the French artist Jacquemart de Hesdin, is a testament to the intricate and lavish artistry that characterizes the Gothic period of the late 14th and early 15th centuries.
The Duke of Berry, known for his patronage of the arts and the commissioning of richly decorated manuscripts, is depicted in a devout pose, praying before a representation of God the Father. The page is adorned with elaborate borders and a detailed miniature that exemplifies the skill of Jacquemart de Hesdin, who was one of the leading illuminators of his time. His work is characterized by its sophisticated use of color, intricate detail, and the incorporation of architectural and natural elements that create a sense of depth and realism.
The manuscript itself, "Les Petites Heures," is a smaller companion to the more famous "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry," both of which are considered masterpieces of French Gothic illumination. The page featuring the Duke of Berry in prayer is a significant example of the personal devotional texts produced for the European elite during the late Middle Ages, reflecting both the piety and the prestige of its owner.
This work is housed in the Bibliothèque nationale de France, and it continues to be an important piece for the study of medieval art, religious iconography, and the cultural history of the French nobility during the period.
