"The Army of the Israelites" is a notable illumination by Jean Colombe, a prominent French manuscript illuminator active during the late 15th century. This artwork is part of a larger collection of illustrations found within the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, one of the most famous and luxurious illuminated manuscripts of the Late Middle Ages. Jean Colombe is credited with completing the Très Riches Heures for Charles I, Duke of Savoy, between 1485 and 1489, a task initiated by the Limbourg brothers who had left the manuscript unfinished at their deaths in 1416.

"The Army of the Israelites" stands out as a significant piece within the manuscript for its detailed depiction of a biblical scene, showcasing Colombe's skill in conveying narrative and emotion through illumination. His work is characterized by intricate detail, vibrant colors, and the dynamic portrayal of figures, all of which are evident in this piece. The illumination not only serves as a religious illustration but also provides insight into the artistic techniques and stylistic preferences of the late 15th century in France.

Jean Colombe's contributions to the Très Riches Heures, including "The Army of the Israelites," are critical to the history of art for their aesthetic beauty and for their role in the development of book illumination. His work represents a bridge between the Gothic and Renaissance artistic periods, reflecting the changing tastes and cultural shifts of late medieval Europe. Through "The Army of the Israelites" and other illuminations, Colombe has left a lasting legacy on the world of manuscript illumination, making this work an essential study for those interested in the history of art, medieval manuscripts, and the cultural heritage of France.
