EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous scene from the renowned manuscript, "Les Petites Heures de Duc de Berry". The image showcases the departure of Jean de France, Duke of Berry, as he embarks on a significant journey. Painted by the talented Limbourg Brothers in 1412, this illustration is an exquisite example of Netherlandish artistry. In the foreground, we see Duke Jean elegantly dressed in his lavish costume and holding a walking stick. Accompanying him is his faithful greyhound, symbolizing loyalty and companionship. A guardian angel hovers above them, providing divine protection for their travels. The setting reveals a bustling town with its towering walls and gates serving as a backdrop to this grand departure. The illuminated manuscript beautifully depicts every intricate detail - from the ornate dress of Duke Jean to the delicate brushstrokes capturing each angel's ethereal presence. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an important historical event unfold before our eyes. The artist's skillful use of color and composition brings life to this scene while evoking feelings of anticipation and adventure. This print serves as both a visual delight and an invaluable historical artifact. It allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind it but also gain insight into medieval customs and traditions surrounding departures such as these.
