Summary: The "Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry" is regarded as the finest 15th-century illuminated manuscript and the supreme example of painting in the International Gothic style. Tres Riches Heures: Behind the Gothic Masterpiece reproduces some of the finest miniatures and describes and discusses the images. It examines the history of the manuscript and the incredible story of the artists, the Limbourg Brothers, who first painted the intricate details of fairy-tale castles, sweeping landscapes, birds, animals, and even insects, with such accuracy. The author also places the paintings in an historical context, with the hardships of real life at the time of the Plague, providing a stark contrast to the depictions of harmony and peace. 1 Kg.

Bound, cloth with orig. dustjacket, 224pp., 21.5x29.5cm., richly illustr. in col., in very good condition. as new. ISBN 9780807615966. The Tres Riches Heures is the most luxurious and most famous examples of manuscript illumination in late medieval Europe. Commissioned by the influential patron, Jean de Berry, in the early years of the fifteenth century, this masterpiece was executed by the three Limbourg brothers, the greatest miniaturists of the time. Their beautifully presented texts are accompanied by lush illustrations, in which the artists' imaginative and decorative genius are fully revealed. Their elegant images influenced the course of painting in France and all of Northern Europe; but, as Millard Meiss comments, 'no painter could match the smooth perfection of their surface, their limpid colour and complex simplicity. Their art could capture the delicate transitory beauty of a newly opened flower.' This edition reproduces each of the miniatures in The Tres Riches Heures to scale and in full colour, capturing both the subtle colour and minute detail of these historic images.

Second printing, 1973. Hardback. Pages 1 - 26 (Preface and Introduction), plates and commentary unpaginated.Pubisher's red cloth with gilt to front and spine. Original slipcase with one of the illustrations pasted to front. Introduction and legends by Jean Longnon, Honorary Curator, Library, Institut de France and Raymond Cazelles, Librarian, Musee Conde. Preface ny Millard Meiss, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. Jean, Duc de Berry, the third son of JeanII, le Bon, King of France, was born in 1340 in the Chateau de Vincennes. In 1360 he received the duchies of Berry and Auvergne to which was added Poitou in 1369. Although circumstances forced Jean Duc de Berry to spend a lot of his time on politics, his passionate interest was in jewels and works of art. He also loved books which he bought and commissioned, received and offered them as gifts. His librarian was a Milanese illuminator, Pietro da Verona, who had arrived in France to sell his works and remained in the service of the Duc de Berry. The Tres Riches Heures is probably the most beautiful of the Duke's Books of Hours. The artists chosen to illuminate the Book (around 1413) were natives of Nimwegen in the Duchy of Guelders between the Meuse and the Rhine. The Limbourg brothers were exceptionally gifted and blended Northern and Italian influences within the French pictorial tradition. The Tres riches Heures as we know it, consists of 206 bound sheets fo fine vellum. Each sheet measures 29 21cms (roughly matched by this reproduction) but they would probably have been originally larger judging by the binder having cut into some of the illustrations. With some justification, Les Tres Riches Heures is often known as "le roi des manuscrits enlumines." Book in near fine condition. Slip case very good. Physically sound. Some light soiling and a small area of scuffing/surface damage to foot. Quite a heavy book but no additional shipping costs to UK postcodes. Book.
