Painting Description
"Belles Heures de Duc du Berry -Folio 191- Paul the Hermit sees a Christian Tempted 1408-09" is a significant and renowned pièce de résistance created by Jean Limbourg, who was part of the Limbourg Brothers trio, major figures in pre-Renaissance French painting. The Limbourgs, known for their intricate and delicate approach, were commission by John, Duke of Berry, a significant French nobleman and art patron, to create this grand Hours Of Prayer tome.
This particular folio, reflecting the theme of 'Paul the Hermit Sees a Christian Tempted,' unfolds a pivotal moment from the life of St Paul the Hermit. Jean Limbourg masterfully captures a spiritual and dramatic scenario where St. Paul observes a fellow Christian succumbing to temptation.
Rendered remarkably on vellum, the medium predominantly used during the medieval period, the artwork aesthetically exhibits the seasonal and everyday routines, accentuating the conventional rhythms of medieval life with an existential narrative.
The 'Belles Heures,' of which this folio forms an integral part, was accomplished in 1408-09, and is celebrated as one of the jewels in the Duke's collection. The book is now housed in the Cloisters collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The magnificence and religious contemplation ingrained in this prominent folio vividly capture and convey the artistic dexterity and insightful narrative abilities of Jean and his brothers, demonstrating why they are amongst the most respected artists in late Gothic European art.
