"Jean de France, Duc de 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). The artwork is attributed to Jacquemart de Hesdin, a renowned French manuscript illuminator active at the end of the 14th century. This particular illumination is significant for its intricate detail, rich color palette, and the insight it provides into the devotional practices and artistic tastes of the French nobility during the late medieval period.

The Duke of Berry was a noted patron of the arts, and his commissions played a pivotal role in the development of manuscript illumination in France. "Les Petites Heures" is one of several luxurious books of hours that he commissioned, which also include the famous "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry." The page in question depicts the Duke in a moment of private devotion, kneeling before a representation of God the Father, who is shown in the upper part of the composition. The use of gold leaf, the detailed rendering of the figures, and the spatial complexity of the scene are characteristic of Jacquemart de Hesdin's sophisticated style.

This work is housed in the Bibliothèque nationale de France and remains an important example of Gothic manuscript illumination. It reflects both the personal piety of the Duke of Berry and the artistic innovations of the period, which saw a move towards greater naturalism and complexity in the depiction of religious subjects. The illumination not only serves as a devotional image but also as a testament to the cultural and artistic milieu of the French court at the time.
