"Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry" is an illuminated manuscript commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, and created by the Limbourg brothers, Paul, Herman, and Jean, between 1412 and 1416. The manuscript is one of the most celebrated examples of late medieval French Gothic manuscript illumination and is often referred to as the "king of illuminated manuscripts." It is renowned for its detailed and vibrant miniatures that depict the life and times of the nobility and peasantry during the early 15th century.

The "March" page of "Les Très Riches Heures" is particularly notable for its intricate depiction of the seasonal activities associated with the month. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Château de Lusignan, one of the Duke's favorite residences. The illustration captures the essence of early spring, with peasants engaged in various agricultural tasks such as plowing fields, sowing seeds, and tending to livestock. The attention to detail in the portrayal of the figures, their clothing, and the landscape reflects the Limbourg brothers' exceptional skill and their ability to convey a sense of realism and vitality.

The "March" miniature is also significant for its representation of the social hierarchy of the time. While the peasants labor in the foreground, the nobility is depicted in the background, enjoying leisure activities such as falconry. This juxtaposition highlights the stark contrast between the lives of the working class and the aristocracy, a common theme in medieval art.

The Limbourg brothers' use of color, light, and perspective in the "March" page exemplifies the innovative techniques that characterize "Les Très Riches Heures." The manuscript's miniatures are celebrated for their luminous quality, achieved through the use of rich pigments and gold leaf. The careful attention to naturalistic details, such as the depiction of flora and fauna, further enhances the visual appeal of the work.

Overall, the "March" page of "Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry" is a masterpiece of medieval art that offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and social structure of the early 15th century. Its enduring beauty and historical significance continue to captivate scholars and art enthusiasts alike.
