"The Burial of Raymond Diocres" is a notable miniature painting by the French artist Jean Colombe, created in the late 15th century. This artwork is part of the richly illuminated manuscript known as the "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry," which is one of the most famous and luxurious Books of Hours from the medieval period. The manuscript was commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, and initially started by the Limbourg brothers, but upon their deaths, the work was left unfinished. It was later completed by Jean Colombe circa 1485-1489.

The miniature depicts a scene from the life of Raymond Diocres, a legendary figure whose story was popular in medieval Europe. According to the tale, Raymond Diocres was a Parisian theologian who died suddenly. During his funeral, he is said to have miraculously risen from his coffin, warning the congregation about the judgment of the soul immediately after death, before lying back down, lifeless. This event was intended to serve as a moral lesson on the importance of living a virtuous life to avoid damnation.

Jean Colombe's interpretation of this scene is characterized by his intricate and detailed style, with a strong emphasis on rich colors and elaborate decoration. The miniature is a fine example of Colombe's work and the late Gothic style, showcasing the artist's skill in creating complex compositions with multiple figures and architectural elements. The painting not only serves as an important piece of religious art but also provides insight into the cultural and societal values of the time.

The "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry," including "The Burial of Raymond Diocres," is housed in the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France. The manuscript remains an invaluable resource for scholars studying medieval art, history, and manuscript illumination, and Jean Colombe's contribution is recognized as a significant achievement in the history of French painting.
