"Psalms of Penitence: Christ in Majesty" is a notable illumination from the "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry," one of the most famous and luxurious illuminated manuscripts of the 15th century. The Très Riches Heures was commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, and created by the Limbourg brothers—Paul, Herman, and Jean—along with other artists after their deaths. Jacquemart de Hesdin, a French miniature painter active during the late 14th and early 15th centuries, is often credited with contributions to this manuscript, although his specific involvement in the "Psalms of Penitence: Christ in Majesty" illumination is not well-documented and may be a matter of art historical debate.

The "Psalms of Penitence" section of the manuscript contains a series of illuminations that accompany the seven penitential psalms, which are traditionally recited as acts of repentance. The "Christ in Majesty" illumination serves as a visual meditation on divine authority and mercy, themes that are central to the penitential psalms. In this artwork, Christ is typically depicted enthroned, surrounded by symbols of the Evangelists and attended by angels, emphasizing His role as the universal judge and intercessor for human sins.

The Très Riches Heures is renowned for its rich iconography, intricate detail, and the use of lapis lazuli and gold leaf, which give the manuscript its luminous quality. The "Psalms of Penitence: Christ in Majesty" is a testament to the devotional practices of the time and reflects the opulence of the patron's court as well as the skill of the artists involved in its creation.

The manuscript is currently housed in the Musée Condé, Chantilly, France, and remains a key work for the study of Northern Renaissance art and the history of book illumination.
