The "Belles Heures de Duc de Berry" is an illuminated manuscript that stands as one of the most notable works of French Gothic manuscript illumination. Created between 1405 and 1409 by the Limbourg brothers, Paul, Jean, and Herman, 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 richly decorated book of hours, Folio 30, depicting The Annunciation, is particularly significant for its artistic and iconographic elements.

Folio 30, "The Annunciation," crafted in 1408-09, is a masterful representation of the biblical scene where the Archangel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and become the mother of Jesus, the Son of God. This scene is a common subject in Christian art, capturing the moment of divine intervention and the Incarnation. In the Limbourg brothers' rendition, the traditional elements of the Annunciation are presented with exquisite detail and a rich color palette, characteristic of the brothers' work and the International Gothic style.

The illumination is notable for its intricate design, the use of gold leaf, and the depth of its spatial representation. The Limbourg brothers' attention to detail is evident in the architectural elements, the figures' drapery, and the naturalistic depiction of light and shadow. The folio not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of the Limbourg brothers but also reflects the religious and cultural context of the early 15th century.

The "Belles Heures de Duc de Berry" is housed in The Cloisters, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where Folio 30, along with the rest of the manuscript, can be appreciated for its historical and artistic value. The Annunciation scene in this folio is a prime example of the devotional art of the period and remains an important piece for scholars studying medieval art, the history of illumination, and the cultural influence of the European nobility on the arts.
