"Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry" (The Very Rich Hours of the Duke of Berry) is a lavishly decorated book of hours, considered one of the masterpieces of Northern Renaissance art and a pinnacle of manuscript illumination. Commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, around 1410, this illuminated manuscript was primarily created by the Limbourg brothers—Paul, Herman, and Jean—three Netherlandish artists active in early 15th-century France. The manuscript is renowned for its miniature paintings that combine gothic and Northern Renaissance artistic elements, depicting both sacred scenes and the secular life of the times with extraordinary detail and rich coloration.

The book contains a collection of prayers to be said at the canonical hours of the Christian liturgy, along with a calendar featuring the months of the year. Each month is illustrated with a full-page miniature that reflects both the aristocratic life and the peasant's toil, corresponding to the seasons and the labors typical of the period. These calendar pages are particularly celebrated for their intricate astrological depictions and their vivid portrayal of the medieval social hierarchy.

The Limbourg brothers worked on the manuscript until their deaths in 1416, leaving it unfinished. It was later completed by other artists, most notably Jean Colombe in the 1480s, who added several more pages of miniatures. The manuscript's name reflects its luxurious nature and the opulence of its patron, the Duke of Berry, who was known for his extravagant taste and collection of art.

Today, "Les Très Riches Heures" is held at the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France. Its historical significance and artistic excellence continue to be celebrated, making it an invaluable resource for understanding both the art and culture of the late Middle Ages. The manuscript's influence extends beyond art history, as it provides insight into the devotional practices, daily life, and social structures of the time.
