"The Celestial Court" is a notable illumination by Jean Colombe, a prominent French manuscript illuminator active during the late 15th century. This work is part of a larger collection of illustrations found in the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, one of the most luxurious and famous illuminated manuscripts of the Late Middle Ages. The manuscript, commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, was started by the Limbourg brothers but left unfinished upon their deaths in 1416. It was Jean Colombe who, decades later, was commissioned to complete the manuscript, which he did between 1485 and 1489.

"The Celestial Court" is a representation of a heavenly scene, reflecting the medieval Christian cosmology and iconography of the time. In this illustration, Colombe depicts a hierarchy of angels and saints gathered in a celestial realm, often interpreted as a visual expression of the divine order and the court of God. The work is characterized by its intricate detail, rich color palette, and the use of gold leaf, which was typical of the opulent style of the period.

Jean Colombe's contributions to the Très Riches Heures, including "The Celestial Court," are considered significant in the history of manuscript illumination for their artistic merit and the insight they provide into the religious and cultural contexts of the late 15th century. The manuscript is held at the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, and remains an important artifact for the study of medieval art, as well as a testament to the craftsmanship of artists like Colombe and the patronage of the French nobility.
