"The Marriage of Michal to David" is a 15th-century miniature painting by French artist Jean Colombe. It is part of a richly illustrated manuscript of the "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry," which is one of the most famous and luxurious illuminated manuscripts of the Late Middle Ages. Jean Colombe is known to have completed the work on the manuscript left unfinished by the Limbourg brothers after their deaths in 1416.

The miniature depicts the biblical scene from the First Book of Samuel, where Michal, the daughter of King Saul, is given in marriage to David, who would later become the king of Israel. The artwork captures the historical and religious significance of the event, showcasing the artist's attention to detail and his ability to convey narrative through the medium of illumination.

Colombe's work is characterized by his intricate use of color and gold leaf, as well as his skill in portraying figures with expressive facial features and gestures. "The Marriage of Michal to David" exemplifies the Gothic style of the period, with its elaborate architectural elements, detailed clothing, and the use of perspective to create a sense of depth.

The manuscript containing this miniature is housed in the Musée Condé, Chantilly, France, and is considered a masterpiece of French Gothic illumination. Jean Colombe's contribution to the "Très Riches Heures" is significant, as he not only completed the unfinished work but also added his own miniatures, thereby enriching the visual narrative of the manuscript and leaving a lasting impact on the art of book illumination.
