"Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry" is a highly celebrated and one of the most luxurious illuminated manuscripts of the 15th century, often considered a pinnacle of the International Gothic style. Commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, around 1410, this book of hours was primarily created by the Limbourg brothers—Paul, Jean, and Herman—renowned Dutch miniature painters of the time. The manuscript is renowned for its rich and intricate miniatures, which include a series of full-page illustrations depicting the months of the year, each set within a vividly detailed landscape or domestic setting that reflects the seasonal activities of the aristocracy and peasantry.

The "Très Riches Heures" combines religious, secular, and astrological themes, featuring a calendar, prayers, psalms, and masses for holy days, all embellished with elaborate decorations. The Limbourg brothers worked on the manuscript until their deaths in 1416, possibly due to the plague, leaving the manuscript unfinished. It was later worked on by other artists, most notably Jean Colombe, who completed it in the 1480s.

The manuscript's miniatures are celebrated for their artistic quality, use of perspective, and vibrant colors achieved through the use of lapis lazuli and other precious pigments. The attention to detail in the depictions of the landscapes, architecture, and figures of various social standings provides a valuable window into the life and times of the early 15th century.

Today, "Les Très Riches Heures" is held at the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, and remains an invaluable work of art, offering insight into medieval life and the history of bookmaking. Its influence extends beyond the realm of art history; it is also an important artifact for the study of social history, fashion, and the history of the calendar.
