"The Entry of Christ into Jerusalem" is an illuminated manuscript page from the "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry," one of the most luxurious and famous Books of Hours from the Middle Ages. Created by the Limbourg brothers, notably Pol de Limbourg, this particular folio is part of a collection that was commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, around 1410. The manuscript is renowned for its rich and intricate miniatures, which are considered masterpieces of Northern Renaissance art.

The illustration depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event celebrated by Christians on Palm Sunday. In the miniature, Christ is shown riding a donkey, as crowds lay down cloaks and palm branches before him—a sign of homage and recognition of his messianic status. The scene is set within a detailed architectural and urban landscape that reflects the Gothic sensibilities of the time, with the city of Jerusalem rendered in a manner that would have been familiar to contemporary European viewers.

Pol de Limbourg's work on this folio is characterized by its vivid color palette, meticulous attention to detail, and the use of gold leaf, which adds a luminous quality to the scene. The figures are elegantly dressed in contemporary 15th-century fashion, which, while anachronistic, was a common practice in medieval art to make the religious narrative more relatable to the manuscript's audience. The Limbourg brothers' innovative use of perspective and their skill in depicting the human figure and emotion contribute to the page's sense of depth and narrative dynamism.

"The Entry of Christ into Jerusalem" is not only a religious representation but also a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Burgundian court during the early 15th century. The "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry" remains in the collection of the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, and continues to be a subject of study for art historians and a treasured example of Gothic illumination.
