The "Belles Heures de Duc de Berry" is a lavishly decorated illuminated manuscript that stands as one of the most notable examples of French Gothic manuscript illumination. Created between 1408 and 1409 by the Limbourg brothers—Herman, Paul, and Jean—this devotional book was commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, who was known for his patronage of the arts and his luxurious collection of books and art. Among the many folios of this manuscript, Folio 20 is particularly noteworthy for its depiction of "St. Catherine's Body Carried to Mt. Sinai."

This folio illustrates the legend of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, whose body was said to have been miraculously transported by angels to Mount Sinai after her martyrdom. The Limbourg brothers' representation is a testament to their skill in blending religious iconography with the intricate detail and rich colors characteristic of the International Gothic style. The miniature painting on Folio 20 captures the ethereal and solemn moment of St. Catherine's final journey, with a composition that reflects both the spiritual significance of the event and the artistic trends of the period.

The "Belles Heures de Duc de Berry" is part of a larger collection known as "Les Très Riches Heures," which is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of book illumination. The manuscript is currently housed in The Cloisters, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Folio 20, like the rest of the manuscript, is not only a religious artifact but also a cultural treasure that offers insight into the artistic, devotional, and social practices of the late medieval period in Europe.
