The "Belles Heures de Duc du Berry - Folio 170 - St. Anthony of Padua Stilling a Storm" is an illuminated manuscript page from one of the most celebrated and luxurious Books of Hours of the Middle Ages, the Belles Heures of Jean de France, Duc de Berry. Created between 1408 and 1409 by the renowned Limbourg brothers—Herman, Paul, and Jean—this folio is a testament to the artistic skill and rich iconography characteristic of the International Gothic style.

The manuscript itself was commissioned by Jean de France, Duc de Berry, who was a passionate patron of the arts and a member of the French royal family. The Limbourg brothers, who were originally from the Netherlands, were among the most talented illuminators of their time, and their work on the Belles Heures is considered one of their masterpieces.

Folio 170 depicts St. Anthony of Padua, a Franciscan friar known for his powerful preaching and his ability to perform miracles. In this particular scene, St. Anthony is shown calming a storm, a miracle that is often attributed to him in hagiographic literature. The folio is a fine example of the Limbourg brothers' ability to blend religious narrative with intricate detail and vibrant color, creating a sense of drama and divine intervention.

The Belles Heures is notable for its full-page miniatures, extensive use of gold leaf, and its inclusion of a series of unusual devotional cycles that reflect both the personal piety of the Duc de Berry and the innovative spirit of the Limbourg brothers. The manuscript is currently housed in The Cloisters, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it remains an important piece of medieval art history and a valuable resource for the study of Gothic manuscript illumination.
