"The Nativity" from Les Petites Heures de Duc de Berry is a notable illuminated manuscript page created by the French Gothic artist Jacquemart de Hesdin. This artwork is part of a collection of devotional books known as Les Petites Heures, a smaller companion to the more famous Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, both commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, who was an avid patron of the arts and a member of the French royal family. The Nativity scene is a traditional Christian subject depicting the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem, and in this particular illumination, Jacquemart de Hesdin's mastery in rendering delicate figures and intricate details is evident.

The manuscript page is characterized by its rich color palette, elaborate gold leaf decorations, and the use of intricate patterns and textures that were typical of the International Gothic style prevalent at the end of the 14th century. Jacquemart de Hesdin's work is distinguished by his sophisticated approach to composition, his skillful use of perspective, and his ability to convey narrative and emotion through the detailed expressions and gestures of the figures.

The Nativity scene in Les Petites Heures de Duc de Berry is a testament to the devotional practices of the time, as well as the luxurious tastes of the French nobility. It reflects the cultural and artistic milieu of the late medieval period, where manuscript illumination was not only a form of artistic expression but also a symbol of wealth and piety. The page is a valuable piece of art history, offering insight into the religious life, artistic trends, and the social context of the late 14th century in France.

Today, "The Nativity" from Les Petites Heures de Duc de Berry is held in high regard by art historians and is considered an important example of Jacquemart de Hesdin's work and of Gothic manuscript illumination. It remains an object of study for its artistic merit and as a representation of the rich cultural heritage of medieval Europe.
