"Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry" is an exquisite example of a medieval illuminated manuscript, renowned for its detailed and vibrant miniatures. Created between 1412 and 1416 by the Limbourg brothers—Paul, Herman, and Jean—the manuscript was commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, a notable patron of the arts and a member of the French royal family. The "November" page is one of the twelve calendar miniatures that depict the agricultural and courtly activities associated with each month of the year.

The "November" miniature captures the essence of late autumn in the medieval period, showcasing the seasonal transition and the associated labors. The scene is set in a rural landscape, where peasants are depicted engaged in the task of fattening pigs for the winter. The swineherds are shown driving their herds into the forest to forage for acorns, a practice common in medieval husbandry. The attention to detail in the depiction of the pigs, the forest, and the peasants' attire provides a vivid snapshot of rural life in the early 15th century.

In the background, a château is visible, symbolizing the Duke's estates and the feudal system that structured medieval society. The juxtaposition of the peasant laborers and the noble residence underscores the social hierarchy of the time. The Limbourg brothers' use of color, light, and perspective in this miniature is particularly noteworthy, as it demonstrates their innovative approach to manuscript illumination and their ability to convey a sense of depth and realism.

The "November" page, like the rest of "Les Très Riches Heures," is celebrated for its artistic mastery and historical significance. It offers invaluable insights into the daily life, agricultural practices, and social structures of the medieval period, making it a treasured artifact of art history. The manuscript is currently housed in the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and art enthusiasts alike.
